Dear all,
The MeCCSA Postgraduate Network would like to promote our three final activities for this academic year.
===============================
Firstly, please join us at the University of Nottingham for our Challenges and Changes in Public Engagement workshop.
On: Friday 6th June 2014
From: 10am - 3pm, including a free networking lunch.
The event will address the challenges that doctoral researchers encounter when disseminating their research to the public, industry, and local and international communities. It will comprise workshops and discussions with academic and industry professionals, providing students with practical guidance on how they can disseminate their research via public-facing organizations, collaborate with local media, and build relationships with schools and community organizations.
