University Graduate School Mid- May update: the last few training workshops for 2011/2012 academic year and upcoming events and competitions

Training
Training is an important part of being a postgraduate researcher here at the University of Birmingham.  It’s nearly the end of the academic year and therefore nearly the end of this year’s training programme.  Take this last opportunity to brush up on those vital skills and experiences by booking your free place on the below courses:
 
 
Events
We’re proud to announce the upcoming Research Poster Conference is open for guests to book their free ticket.  Why should you attend this event I hear you ask? For several reasons including:
·         Excellent networking opportunity with peers across all five colleges (you never know who you’ll meet and how they can help you/ you can help them and the useful contacts you’ll create)
·         Getting to see and hear about current research here at UoB (most of the time we don’t know what’s going on in the next room so we’ve made it easy for you by organising such a variety all in the Great Hall)
·         Opportunity to network with high profile people across the University and people from local business
·         Food and drinks are provided
·         It’s a fun day of celebrating research here at UoB so if you can visit for 2 hours or 5 minutes you are more than welcome!
 
The Research Poster Conference is being held in the Great Hall on June 19th so please come and along and bring family, friends and supervisors.  Simply book your free place here.
 
 
Competitions
You can win £50 Amazon Voucher with just a Tweet!  Simply tweet @UoBGradSchool and tell us why you love your research with the hashtag #ugscomp by May 28th.  We’ll retweet all of our entries and our favourite will win £50 Amazon Voucher.  Twitter is an effective, fast and fun way of communicating and networking within the research community and we warmly welcome any tweets that are sent our way.
