In this session, DAMTP and DPMMS researchers who have succeeded at Grants and Fellowship applications will pass on what they know. The presentation will cover:

• Overview of the funding landscape

There will be an interactive element to the session, during which participants can get their 1 page proposals and CVs reviewed by academics and peers.

This event will provide the opportunity for graduate students to meet and engage with mathematics alumni who have taken a variety of different career paths. It will present an opportunity for you to hear about the different experiences of those who have chosen to work outside academia, and to ask questions and obtain advice. All alumni attending have at some stage completed degrees at the CMS.

Focusing on clear communication in the workplace, Paula Rosen can help you prepare for a formal or informal presentation, get ready for interviews, lead meetings, or tackle difficult conversations. Whatever is on your wish list for being a better communicator, this session will provide constructive feedback and tips on refining your speaking style, increasing personal impact and addressing any concerns you may have about your communication skills.
