Wednesday 23rd June | Venue: Online
Welcome to the SPaRK Research Showcase
Join us as we celebrate the achievements of the SPaRK cohort and learn more about the 20 individual research projects that have formed this unique interdisciplinary programme.
SPaRK is a Horizon2020 funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral training programme that has supported 20 interdisciplinary PhD students at Queen’s University Belfast. The project commenced in May 2017 and most of our first cohort have completed their research with the second cohort due to complete by the end of 2021.
This showcase will allow us to celebrate the achievments of the programme and the individual researchers.
Opening Address | 10am
