How we engage with our network
Our activities include quarterly networking lunches, seminars, specific workshops, forum for project managers, internal and external speakers, “pitches to peers”, peer mentoring, engagement through mailing list and reach to other colleges, and advice about grant development and set-up.
We aim to work closely with other Departments and Colleges across the University engaged in international work.
