The Postgraduate Research Education Team are looking forward to hosting the new ResShare Event for University of Essex postgraduate researchers on 28 February (14:00 – 16:30), 5.300A + 5.300B at Wivenhoe Park.

The idea is to chat 1.1 with other postgraduate researchers about your research projects for 8 minutes, before rotating around the room to share with others. An opportunity to meet other PGRs with shared experiences without the pressure of a big presentation or making lots of smalltalk first!

After this, enjoy a presentation by an Essex Research Impact Officer and enjoy the tea, coffee and juice provided.
