TYC Welcome Day 2026
14 October 2026 @ 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm
We are delighted to invite you to our in-person TYC Welcome Event – a great opportunity to discover the many benefits of being part of this vibrant and collaborative research community, while beginning to build connections with fellow students and researchers.
During the event, a panel of current TYC PhD students and postdoctoral researchers will share their experiences, answer your questions, and provide an overview of TYC activities, opportunities, and ways to get involved.
To help shape the discussion, please tell us a little about your PhD research topic and submit one or more questions you would like the panel to address. You can ask about anything, from student life in London and life within the TYC community to the challenges and rewards of undertaking a PhD. All questions will be presented and answered anonymously.
To register, please email Karen at tyc-administrator@ucl.ac.uk with your confirmation of attendance, your PhD topic, and your question(s). Event details will be sent to registered participants. We look forward to welcoming you!
