About the Graduate Network

UKICRS has strived to provide a platform to enable postgraduate students to promote and discuss their research. Over the last 8 years, the UKICRS Graduate Network has become an established and high active group including postgraduate students and representatives from universities across the UK and Ireland. 

The aims of the Graduate Network are:
(i)       to ensure effective support and communication with students who make up a valuable proportion of our membership,
(ii)       to allow easier dissemination of information from the central committee, and
(iii)      to promote the UKICRS and the CRS to as wide an audience as possible.

Graduate Network Committee

The graduate network committee directly support various UKICRS events and activities, including directing the content of the UKICRS Symposium, organising articles for the newsletter and in the future organising regional UKICRS events which specifically cater to postgraduate needs. Anyone interested in joining the UKICRS Graduate Network as a committee member, please contact Charlie Winter or Hugh Giffney.
