Faculty of Natural Sciences – Postdocs & Fellows Research Showcase

(Note this is an internal event)

The Postdocs and Fellows Committee (PFC) from the Faculty of Natural Sciences is hosting a half-day of short presentations to showcase the innovative work from our postdoctoral and fellows’ researchers. This event will include a networking session over light refreshment – Please see the schedule below.

Note a representative from the Postdoc and Fellows Development Centre will also join this event to inform us about the kind of support the centre can provide.

If you were not able to register before the deadline (13 November), please contact Dr Ester Buchaca-Domingo .
