Exchange
The Exchange Research Network provides a fantastic opportunity for you to gain an insight into the vibrant research activities that take place within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, encouraging participation from both staff and students.
Over the course of the year we aim to provide a series of seminars presented by research staff across the Schools to showcase the Faculty’s research success.
Accompanying this will be a series of informal staff networking events where Faculty academics can share their research activity, information and expertise, as well as discover potential collaborative opportunities.
