SRA/IKD Retreat 2020
10 - 11 March 2020
Woughton House Hotel, 10:00 - 17:00 each day
The overall aim of the retreat is to take stock of the past year but also look forward to our furture work.

It is an exciting time, with a new VC who is supportive of research and making a case for continuation of the SRA, as well as a new initiative around CPD.

At the heart of this are all the SRA memebers, including those who have received Research Development Funding (RDF) as well as our PHD students.

We want them to present their achievements and discuss the findings from their research work.
