Hi everyone,
 
We have extended the deadline for our undergraduate Summer placement until 14th February. The UKICRS has provided funding for the last two years for an undergraduate student to undertake an 8 week research project in the general area of drug delivery. Last year, Zhi Yuan Kok from the University of Nottingham received the award. You can read about his experience below!
 
This is a great opportunity for a student considering a career in research or industry! You can find full details in the Bits ’n’ Pieces section of the website.
​
Best of luck with your applications!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that the deadline for abstracts for the CRS 2017 conference has been extended to February 1st – this gives you a little more time to get your abstracts in if you haven’t already! The conference this year will be held in Boston from July 16th-19th. Follow the link below to submit an abstract

Don’t forget that the UKICRS is offering a travel bursary of £1000 to help cover the costs of getting to Boston! The deadline for applications is the 14th of February. Application forms can be found on the ‘Bits ‘n’ Pieces’ section of the website!

Best of luck!
Carol

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday and Happy New Year!

Having taken over from Laura as postgraduate network chairs, Charlie and I would like to introduce ourselves. I am a 3rd year PhD student at University College Cork and Charlie is a 2nd year PhD student at Imperial College London.
We are very excited to take on this role and hope to work closely with you all in the coming year. We will be looking for new ideas to support our members, especially postgraduate students, so please let myself or Charlie know if there’s anything you would like us to do!
We plan to regularly update this blog with information about the society, upcoming events and other interesting bits and pieces – so keep an eye out for new posts!
Please feel free to contact either of us with queries or suggestions during the year – our email addresses are on Graduate Network Page.

Looking forward to working with you all!
Best wishes,
Carol and Charlie
