King’s Water hosted a workshop on 28 Oct 2015 to develop synergies and networks with internal and external institutions. This interdisciplinary workshop was designed to explore potential questions, topics and themes that might bring together colleagues and to start new conversations and pilot projects. The workshop also included a session for PhD students to brainstorm ideas to complement their ongoing research.
The event offered an opportunity for Masters, PhD, Post-docs and staff to get together. A short proceedings of the workshop will follow shortly.
