PGRS Residential Conference 2012
15 June 2012 - 17 June 2012
Kents Hill Conference Centre, Milton Keynes, UK
Weekend residential conference for post-graduate research students at The Open University.
The aims of the conference are twofold. Firstly, there will be career development workshops, CV checking sessions and writing workshops. These will be of relevance to you if you are writing up and considering what to do post completion. Other workshops will be offered by experienced academics that will hopefully help you to think afresh about aspects of your studies. Secondly, by sharing social time and informal discussions over meals and in the evenings, we hope to foster informal networks and personal contacts which are helpful in sustaining enthusiasm and focus during Ph.D. research. Students have often found this aspect of the conference a real boost to motivation.
