Abstract

This focus of this research day will be on giving junior researchers in NESCI the chance to meet their fellow counterparts from the other institutions and for others to see what research is going on within NESCI.

There will be key talks but there is also a call for abstracts. For more information on the call please contact Lucy Kuene. Deadline for abstracts is Friday 4th May.
