UKCGE, Vitae, the British Library and the NUS are organising a symposium (at the British Library) to discuss the experience of doing a doctorate. The symposium will result in a report with a matrix of recommendations for the use of students, institutional staff and external organisations so this is your chance to exert some influence!

In order to ensure a dynamic mix on the day, we are offering a reduced rate for institutions that send a delegation of staff including at least one doctoral researcher. Every student place is free when accompanied by a paying member of academic or institutional staff. From your point of view, bringing staff along means that you are likely to gain critical mass in any changes you may want to implement!

It'd be great to see you there,
