Each year we run a series of Research Cafes alongside LJMU's Doctoral Academy.

Research cafes are an opportunity for PhD students and academic researchers to share their work in an informal environment and allow others to learn more about research going on at LJMU.

Speakers will come along to share more about their work and experiences, with time for questions after each.

If you are a PhD researcher or a member of staff doing research and would like to speak, please get in touch with Katherine Stephan our Researcher Engagement Librarian
