Academic Career Development Programme 2020-2025
The HPRU-EZI Academic Career Development Programme is available to all members of the Unit but with a particular focus on our early career researchers who have been recruited to our 17 PhD studentships. Our key objective is to establish long-term sustainability of research capacity for future emergency preparedness, ensuring students have the core skills needed to respond to outbreaks of emerging infections in the UK.
