The residential conference will include keynote talks and discussions as well as breakout activities, enabling Scholars to:
- Gain further experience in presenting their research.
- Discuss how their research addresses current development challenges.
- Develop teamworking and analysis skills.

- Connect with other PhD Scholars and discover opportunities for future collaboration.

- Design a plan of action for achieving development impact through their research and future career activities.
This workshop is for Commonwealth Scholars in the final year of their PhD only.
