OPSITARA Research
Like you we have been planning for this year, with a full schedule of public research events already in the diary. We are pleased to be celebrating Sally Baddock's professorial appointment with a free event on 6 March at 5.30pm. You can read more about Sally's work below. All are welcome to attend; please register online here.
Now is a great time to get in touch with us about working with our students or staff this year. These stories give you some idea of what they do and how they might be able to help you. This month we have also included a video profiling one of our Masters graduates.
