Years 2 and 3
In subsequent years you'll have “Pioneer” options for advanced or specialist technical training and professional career development, including:
- intellectual property
- project management
- disseminating science across borders (engaging with non-academic audiences: industry, public, government)
- science policy in sustainable development
- thesis and grant writing.
Networking and collaboration
Each year, you'll attend a research and industry showcase giving you the chance to show your work and forge important connections with fellow researchers and industry professionals. You'll also attend regular events at the SusMat0 Hub, including away days and team building activities.
