We want you to be the first to hear about the new and exciting research coming out of your University. And who better to tell you about it than the researchers themselves!

Throughout the year, you are invited to attend a series of short, online, TED-style talks, across a range of research topics, from some of Sheffield’s most talented PhD students.
