Research Week
Research Week runs annually in collaboration with the University of Essex. The aim of the week is to create a community for our researchers, developing links across doctoral research programmes and the wider research community at The Tavistock. The week culminates in our Doctoral Conference which brings together staff and students from the Tavistock and Portman and University of Essex.
All who are interested in research at The Tavistock are welcome to attend. The week is especially useful for doctoral research students as it offers the opportunity to develop key research skills and the doctoral conference offers a platform for some students to present their work.
