“The programme is a great chance to step outside what can be a bubble of academia, but also a chance to see that your skills are valuable, even in settings which you wouldn’t immediately link. I’ve benefitted from the training which has improved my ability to communicate research with a business audience. Finally, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working in an interdisciplinary team – I’ve learnt a lot from my team mates, and equally learnt about my own working style and role within a group.”
