SMaRteN virtual Labs for PhD Student Mental Health
We are seeking presenters for the SMaRteN virtual labs for PhD student mental health. The talks will be delivered monthly or bi-monthly throughout the year, starting October 2021, and held through Microsoft Teams. We would like to create a varied programme, but with a core theme of PhD student mental health. Your session could, for example, be connected to research you are undertaking or experiences from applied practice. The labs run for 50 minutes, with speakers typically presenting for 25-30 minutes, followed by a Q & A. There is no prescribed format though, so we can be flexible in structure and slides are not required. Once you’ve submitted your expression of interest via this form, the organisers will contact you with further details in future.
If you would not like to present, but wish to be kept informed about attending the sessions when the series starts, then please also use the form to provide us with your email address.
