So you’ve found a conference you’d like to present at – now what? There are a few things to think about: ⭐️Which format will you use? ⭐️What area of your research will you cover?

Your department or institution is a great place to start when thinking about presenting at conferences. These events are likely to be smaller and have a crowd that you're already familiar with. Use these local events to test your skills and build your confidence!

(Extra)Ordinary Experiences?

MGS ESRC DTP @mgsesrcdtp.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

Many PhD students teach alongside their studies. It’s a great way to gain relevant academic experience, and, in many cases, earn some extra money.

Publishing is an area many PhD students are keen to get to grips with but it can be difficult to know where to start and how to be strategic about which aspects of your research you commit to articles.

Getting to grips with event organisation could be a key skill for your future, in academia or industry. It can also be a lot of fun! Doing a PhD offers you many opportunities to support event organisation, and perhaps even plan one from scratch yourself.
