Guest post by Ashley Roberts, Information Adviser (Graduate Trainee)
Research Sparks is a new monthly lunchtime group for Post Graduate Researchers (PGRs) and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) from all disciplines. The sessions are designed to be an informal opportunity to learn about key developments in the research landscape, whilst getting to know fellow PGRs and ECRs. Feel free to bring along your lunch, a friend, or just your ideas!
Each session focusses on a different topic within the field of research, ranging from emerging technologies like Chat GPT to the rights of researchers to retain copyright to their own works. All the discussion sessions will be taking place in Room 114 of the Charles Seale-Hayne Library at 1-2pm.
See below for the dates and topics of each session. We look forward to seeing you there!
