St Catz Advanced Studies Seminars

This is the first St Catz Advanced Studies Seminar. We will welcome feedback as well as ideas for possible future events. There are no restrictions on topics within the overall aim of providing a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion and development of ideas in cutting edge areas of R&D in health and social care

Funding and Accommodation: the seminars are fully funded for hospitality on the day (generously provided by the Laces Trust) but we have no funding for travel or overnight expenses.
