CREATe Public Lectures and PhD Development events

Join us this autumn at one of our Public Lectures
or PhD development workshops. Our public lecture series will investigate topical policy issues such as EU Copyright Reform in the Brexit environment and publisher rights in the new Copyright in the Digital Single Market draft Directive. Our PhD development workshops will introduce students to a wide range of research methods and provide an opportunity to share work with peers and gain valuable feedback. Spaces are limited and booking is essential.
