Developing enterprise skills amongst postgraduate and post-doctoral researchers working on engineering or engineering related topics. Originally a partnership between the University of Nottingham and Loughborough University. Extended in 2011 to all Midlands Universities.

The Social Media sessions demonstrated a successful integration of a student-led initiative within a formal graduate training provision. The initiative underlined the importance of engaging PhD students in their own learning and training needs, in both sharing expertise with peers and in contributing to their own professional development.
