University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Looking for an informal but academically relevant audience to present your
research? Well, the forthcoming RGS Post Graduate Forum conference is just
that! Following on from the success of last year's conference at Nottingham
University , the RGS -IBG Postgraduate Forum Mid-Term Conference provides
the opportunity to discuss research and ideas in a friendly and supportive
atmosphere, something that is not always offered at some high profile
geography conferences. The event encourages postgraduate students, at any
stage in their career, to present their research or simply to listen to
others. Alongside, members of the Contract Research and Teaching Forum will
be running workshops covering important issues to postgrads, such as
postdoctoral career development. Afterwards, a post event ‘warm down' is
planned offering a chance to socialise with those from the conference but
in a non-academic environment. The city of Newcastle is renowned for
its ‘night life' and thus should be a fun way to conclude the day!!
