BSECS Postgraduate and Early Career Seminar Series 2022
BSECS Postgraduate and Early-Career Scholar Seminar Series 2022
The last Thursday of each month BSECS hosts a seminar specially aimed at postgraduate and early-career researchers. Each seminar consists of two papers presented via Zoom, followed by a discussion.
The seminar is open to all but our aim is to create a relaxed and welcoming community for postgraduate and early-career researchers who wish to present their first paper or try out some new research.
