“The opportunity to network with other students — doing a PhD can be very isolating and it was nice to be able to talk to people in a similar situation. Activities encouraging us to socialise were fantastic!” — InSPiRE participant

“What I enjoyed most where the topics on the first and last day, because those — while important — are not things I usually take the time for to sit down and think about. This week gave an opportunity to do so and discuss with new people” — InSPiRE participant

“I liked the exposure to other universities and faculties and the opportunity to meet other students. Change of environment and ability to some ‘big picture’ thinking” — InSPiRE participant

“I liked that it covered most of the fundamental areas of carrying out a PhD” — InSPiRE participant

“Meeting students from other Universities and sharing a lot of important information relevant to our research studies. Furthermore, listening to some high calibre of speakers was truly inspirational” — InSPiRE participant
