ExDP Conversations 2021

The ExDP Conversations series aims to offer a forum for the discussion of evolving and ongoing research through which we might offer peer support and review. The series begins in December 2021 with an initial conversation on the Tuesday 9th December at 6pm.

Do get in touch if you would enjoy the opportunity of a conversation around your work.
