Background to the Hackathon - 'Hack to Transform'

The IoE Postgraduate Researcher Development Framework identifies certain skills that students may wish to develop over the course of their Postgraduate research degree. In this exciting event, we are focusing on one (sometimes intangible) quadrant of the framework: Personal Effectiveness Competencies. We hope that the embedding of these skills will enable our graduates to go on to transform lives in wider society.

So let’s Hack to Transform!

What's in it for me as a research student?!
