As we approach the conclusion of a successful 2023-24, the SGSSS has produced our Year in Review report. This report highlights the wide range of training, cohort development events, collaboration opportunities, interdisciplinary working and knowledge exchange activities delivered in collaboration with our HEIs and other partners. The report also features the hard work of our students, their research and the exciting opportunities they have explored through the SGSSS training, mentoring schemes, internship placements, overseas institutional visits and other activities.
We hope you enjoy reading about what has been accomplished this year.
Accessibility: SGSSS is focused on ensuring accessibility is at the forefront of all our communications. For this newsletter, we’ve chosen a light grey background, sans serif font, and high-contrast section headings, all of which help dyslexic readers. Microsoft also provide an “Accessibility view” for reading a Sway – follow the three dots at the top right of your screen. For some people however, this format may not be suitable, so please find a link here to a static PDF version of the newsletter. If you would like to receive the document in another format, please feel free to contact us via team@sgsss.ac.uk
