Relevant Research - March 2018

Welcome to another issue of Relevant Research with a selection of recent research from our staff and students.  If you are interested in working with students, you can find out more here on our website. So far we have featured there only a few of the study areas which have opportunities for working with our students, so do get in touch with us if you can't find what you're looking for. 

You should all have received an invitation to our event Sustainability in Business on 10 April. It's not too late to get tickets for this seminar to help you improve the sustainability of your business practice. You can register here. Planning is well under way for many more research events this year too.
