Event overview
There is an increasing emphasis on the "knowledge economy" and the importance of high-level skills in helping the UK out of recession. The economic importance of research activity has been frequently highlighted by both government and industry.
Given that there are currently over 90 000 people working towards a doctorate in the UK and that over half of these will not continue into academia, this interactive seminar will look at how postgraduates can support UK plc.
