Opportunity to plan annual research seminar for PhDs

Third Annual Regional Seminar for doctoral students researching in the field of Social Work and Social Care

Following two highly successful events in 2010 and 2011, we are now organising the third seminar which will be held at  The University of Leeds on Thursday July 5 2012.

The previous seminars included representatives from universities across the Yorkshire region. This will be an exciting opportunity to meet other doctoral students and academics involved in research in Social Work and Social Care. 

You will have the opportunity to present on your own research, to hear other students and academic researchers present their work and to meet with fellow students and researchers to share ideas and experiences.

In previous years, postgraduate research students have been closely involved in organising and planning the event.

If you – or any of your colleagues – would like to be involved in a planning group for this event, we would be very pleased to hear from you.

To indicate your interest, please contact: David Saltiel at d.saltiel@leeds.ac.uk
