What's on
The PDG organises a number of events and opportunities to support the personal and professional development of PGRs at the University of Liverpool.
Coffee & Connect
Our monthly “Coffee & Connect” sessions provide an informal space where you can meet and chat with other PGRs. We will be releasing a schedule for the upcoming year soon!
Lunch & Learn
Our monthly “Lunch & Learn” events provide an opportunity for PGRs to enhance their knowledge and skills on a particular development topic over a short, informal, lunchtime session. Each month we choose a new speaker and theme that addresses PGR interests. The 25-26 Lunch & Learn schedule is as follows:

Networking event
Our termly Networking events are a fun and informal gathering where we meet, chat, drink tea and coffee, and engage in some light-hearted activities that help us reflect on PGR life. These are a great opportunity to meet PGRs outside of your discipline and to learn more about the PDG.
E-bulletin
Our monthly E-bulletin is packed with news and opportunities for PGRs, from courses and conferences to the latest funding calls. We send this out to all PGRs at the beginning of the month. If you have any development opportunities that you’d like PGRs to know about, email us here: pdg@liverpool.ac.uk
