PhD students based in the Department of Agrifood Economics and Marketing recently organised and participated in a PhD conference and was attended by academic staff and other students. The conference provided students with an opportunity to showcase their research through presentations and interdisciplinary discussion.

Tian Marifat, PhD Student and main Conference Organiser, said “The conference brought together postgraduate researchers from across the globe, spanning four continents, to share their work and engage with peers and academics. From food systems and consumer behaviour to environmental governance and sustainability, the diversity of topics presented reflects the breadth and ambition of research within our school, and the real value of having a dedicated space for doctoral students to develop their voice.”
