PGR Information Hub
"The primary aim of these pages is to support and stimulate the research activity of the PGR community within IICD. This will include a news feed announcing achievements and awards within IICD, outlining changes within IICD or the Medical School that may impact on the research environment, conveying information on conferences, workshops and courses (including new DDP modules) that may be of interest to IICD PGRs, and providing funding information (particularly for those nearing the end of their PhD programme who wish to consider a fellowship). There will also be updated information on other aspects of PGR activity such as outreach, career planning, teaching opportunities. Links will also be provided to existing information on other webpages within the university to facilitate information gathering, but the aim is not to duplicate such material on our own site." | |

We are here to foster communication and interaction between students, to share good news, make social plans and give updates on whatever happens in & out of the department. We represent you at departmental and faculty level and we aim to help signpost students to relevant resources, contacts and facilities. Our plans include:
- promote PGR-relevant events (DRIP, internal & external seminars, careers events…);
- organise social activities (biannual Society meetings, debates, meals, inter-society events...);
- build a network and community of students. If you have any suggestions to make our Society better or if you want to get involved in the organisation of our events, please do not hesitate to contact us - we’d love to hear from you!
