SBBS PDRA Symposium
The SBBS PDRA Symposium is the School’s annual showcase of postdoctoral research, organised by the PDRA representatives. This event is designed to acknowledge and celebrate the great scientific contributions of our Postdoctoral Research Associates. The Symposium brings together the whole School to engage with the breadth of research taking place across our centres. The programme features short talks and posters from PDRAs, complemented by keynote lectures from invited guest speakers. The day concludes with a social reception, providing opportunities to connect, collaborate, and strengthen our research community.
