From the Graduate School
December 9, 2008
The Graduate School is going to sponsor a postgraduate researcher to attend the residential conference, ‘Beyond the Campus.’
‘Beyond the Campus: An Interdisciplinary Examination of the Value of Research’ will be held between Wednesday January 28th and Friday January 30th. We have a first rate panel of speakers for the conference, drawn from many disciplines and each of considerable public reputation.
The aim of this conference is to allow an opportunity for doctoral students to discuss both the value of their own particular research (each student will be asked to give a short 20 minute presentation in small groups of their work to date) as well as to reflect, through plenary sessions, on where exactly that research might be taking them once completed.
Given that only 50% of such students move into academic careers thereafter, a conference in which there is opportunity to think about career “beyond the campus” seems to us to be especially timely.
If you are interested please contact Prof Vaughan Robinson, Director of the Graduate School (vaughan.robinson@kcl.ac.uk) sending some details about yourself.
The conference will take place in Windsor. You can find out more details by clicking here.
