Join us as we hear from some great neurodivergent and disabled PGR (research) students. This event features an inclusive, accessible, and series of talks, each from a different disabled and/or neurodivergent PGR, talking about their research or experiences of research, including a break for social networking over coffee (and cakes!) and plenty of time for discussion and questions between talks.

Directions to the Room

By stairs (approx. 58 steps)

Go to the iQ East Court (Scape) building. It is directly opposite Arts 2, on the other side of the main road outside campus, roughly halfway between Sainsbury’s Local and the canal.

Once entered through the revolving door, turn left at reception, and through the door towards the Queen Mary area of the building.

Approximately 15m slightly to the right after going through the door, there will be a large red spiral staircase. Follow this staircase up to the third floor (approx. 58 steps), where the room and a small seating area are located.

By lift

Go to the iQ East Court (Scape) building. It is directly opposite Arts 2, on the other side of the main road outside campus, roughly halfway between Sainsbury’s Local and the canal.

Once through the revolving door (you can also enter through the café next door to avoid this door), head to reception as they will need to let you through a door to the lifts (the lifts are part of the student accommodation annoyingly). They are aware that attendees will be coming along.

They will show you (or point you in the direction of) a large wooden door which is towards the left when facing reception.

Enter one of the lifts and go to floor 3. When you leave the lift turn right and then right again through another door. There’s a small sign which says “Teaching room 3.01”.
