REES Discussion Group

The REES Discussion Group is a lively and safe space for students to share updates on their work, discuss key developments in their areas, and learn from one another’s research approaches, methods, and experiences.

We meet weekly in term-time.  Each week sees a different student lead discussion or introduce a topic, and some weeks see special guests connected to the REES programme pop in and talk with us about their experiences.

The group is convened by REES DPhil candidate George Hajipavli and was founded in 2013 by Dr Elizabeth Teague OBE (1945-2022) originally as REES Press Group. 

Are you a REES student interested in keeping up to date on developments in your field?
