Mark Monday, 4 October 2021 in your calendars because you won’t want to miss our annual CCS Graduate Research Student Symposium!

Translational Research symposium. Glenn
is noted for his lively presentations. 

Reminder for AMREP EMCRs and HDRs that abstract submission for the 2018 AMREP EMCR symposium closes in one week on Friday 14 September.  This is a fantastic opportunity to present your data and ideas to your fellow early and mid career researchers, and a great chance to network.

We also have two really amazing keynote speakers who are taking time out of their busy schedules to speak to us, as well as a career development panel who will answer all of your questions about how to make the most of your CV and interview opportunities.

We encourage all EMCRs and final year PhD students to attend, though early PhD students are welcome to register also. Please register for catering purposes.
