  • Supporting Excellence in Postgraduate Education panel session:

The conference will play host to symposiums for its Deans and Directors of Graduate Schools (DDoGS) and Graduate School Managers (GSM) Networks as well as facilitating the launch of the Council’s new Doctoral Supervision Network. UKCGE working groups will also provide updates on current projects and the Council will hold its AGM for full and associate members.

Like all UKCGE annual conferences, the drinks and dinner reception will add value to the event by providing a unique opportunity for further networking.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts (300 words) is Friday 18th March.
