The UCL Review

📝 Our last speaker event of the year! How can interdisciplinary approaches help us solve the world’s most pressing issues? And what does UCL do to promote it? Join us for a talk with Prof Marc-Olivier Coppens on his work on Transformative Technologies, one of the six Grand Challenges identified by UCL. Marc will be discussing his own work at the Centre for Nature-Inspired Engineering as a practical example of how UCL supports interdisciplinary research. Link to Zoom is in our bio!

Join us on Monday the 6th of March at 6pm for an interactive presentation with Sunny Bains, all about how to make a strong technical analysis of emerging technologies. Making your academic writing convincing and getting your point-of-view across clearly is a key skill for any career you embark on, so come along and have a go in a relaxed environment! This will be followed by a social at the pub 🍺

Join us on Tuesday the 28th of February at 4pm for an insightful talk on Research Transparency. Proper research practices are vital to maintain strong relationships and trust in your respective field, so we are excited to hear from Banaz Jalil, PhD how to strengthen this skillset.

🗓️ Join us on the 8th of February at 2pm to discover the world of Research Consultancy! Dr Fran Harkness is the co-director of Kohlrabi Consulting, working with research clients to achieve big results.
