Throughout the programme the ESRs are encouraged to communicate with a wider audience about their work, to both fellow academics and researchers, and also the wider public.

An example of such outreach is this educational video produced by Liz Quinlan (ESR 5), for "That Jorvik Viking Thing" (https://www.jorvikthing.com/). The video discusses research design and background information for her ongoing PhD project at the University of York, looking at the exploitation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the Medieval period across the North Sea area.

2. Katrien Dierckx presented a summary of her PhD project, which aims to develop identification methods to classify archaeological flatfish remains to species level, reconstruct a timeline for the presence and frequency of each species from key sites from around the southern North Sea littoral, and explore how flatfish fisheries changed around the marine fishing revolution.
