⏰ ICUR x throwback thursday: Want to find out how to make the most out of ICUR or what future professional and research opportunities ICUR can lead to? Join us at the ICUR Alumni Panel on 29 September, which will be hosted by our CURIE Student Director (Alumni Engagement), Elaine Phoon! We are featuring five past undergraduate students who have participated in ICUR from diverse fields, including law, languages and science, who are either doing research or working in the private or public sector. This will give a unique opportunity to ask any questions you may have about research, undergraduate and postgraduate studies, university, work and life in general!
