The #GLACIERpgrforum is a space for connection and leadership across all career stages. We believe positive research cultures start with postgrad researchers.

Here, participants share their views on the event and ideas for future development. Have ideas of your own? Get in touch!

We can’t wait for more of these in the future, and to see how they grow and evolve under greater PGR leadership. Look out for updates about the next PGR Forum, planned for the autumn term.
