Public engagement
Public engagement allows LISS DTP students to share their passion for research while increasing public awareness of the work happening within LISS DTP and beyond. We actively support and promote engagement with the wider community, collaborating with various organizations to create meaningful opportunities for our students to develop and lead activities.
Our PhD community is conducting impactful research at local, national, and international levels. Explore the dropdown options below to see some of their projects!
