CHASE Research Networks

The CHASE Research Networks play an important role in enriching the research environment for postgraduate researchers across CHASE institutions. Typically student-led, they are organised around methodological approaches or practices, sites of activism, and researcher well-being. The networks operate as spaces for PGRs to connect over shared research approaches and broader concerns related to academia. They also deliver events and initiatives that enable PGRs to network, collaborate, and develop their research together.

If you have any questions or you want to start a network, reach out to CHASE’s researcher networks officer at networks@chase.ac.uk.
