Who's it for?

All staff and PGTs/PGRs doing, or even just interested in, participatory research from any discipline. We particularly encourage postgraduate students and early career academics to come along!

What to expect?

Our Fikas [Fee-ka], inspired by the Swedish tradition, are a casual space to connect with others over a cup of tea/coffee, share insights, and build a supportive network of researchers.

Everyone's welcome, whether you want to learn about others' research, have questions about a project you're doing, or you're simply craving some social interaction!

You can pop in for as little or as long as you like.
