Life Beyond the PhD conference 2023

Join us at Cumberland Lodge for four days of thought-provoking discussions and interdisciplinary conversations with fellow doctoral students from across the UK.

This annual conference offers PhD students and early career researchers the opportunity to share their experiences with each other. 

What's in it for me?

Our varied programme is designed to help you develop the transferable skills you will need to maximise the impact of your academic work in the wider world, both within and outside of academia. We focus on communication, public engagement, and interdisciplinary working, through a series of skills sessions, a group project, and with the help of guest speakers.

Sessions include:

• presentation skills and writing for non-academic audiences
• sharing research with non-specialists
• CV writing skills
• collaboration skills to optimise social impact.

This unique event presents the opportunity to explore the social value of PhDs, and aims to develop long-lasting support networks across traditional, institutional, and disciplinary boundaries.
