SUMMARY:MASTS & SUPER Graduate School 15th Annual Student Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open! Please fill out the form that has been emailed to you by Monday 23 February at 10.00 am. \n  \nThe goal of the Retreat is to bring you together from across your geographically dispersed institutions and to create a supportive community\, while providing informative training sessions\, talks\, and time to network. This is one of the mandatory annual Graduate School events so we expect to see you there. Please make every effort to attend and actively participate. You can find feedback from PGRs that attended previous Retreats below. \n  \nThe Retreat will be held at the Macdonald Aviemore Resort. Individual ensuite double rooms will be booked for you and all meals are included. If you don’t need a room or you’d like to share a room with a named person please indicate this in the free text box at the end of the form. Sessions will take place in the Peregrine Suite in the Spey Valley centre at the Resort\, a large meeting space with windows for natural light which is accessible by stairs or lift. Please find the draft programme attached for more information on the sessions. \n  \nYou can review a copy of the programme. There is a choice of skills session on Tuesday morning\, either “Making Policy & Conservation Effective – Stakeholder Engagement”\, or “Grant Writing”. A social activity session has been included on the Tuesday afternoon. Active options include a group walk with routes for all abilities\, bike hire as there are off-road cycle paths around the area\, or ice skating at the Resort. Indoors we will have board games. If you do not want to participate in the group activities\, the Resort pool and gym are open and the conference space will be available for you to work in if you wish. \n  \nPlease make your own travel arrangements to Aviemore. There is a train station a few minutes’ walk from the Resort\, or you could car-pool to reduce our carbon footprint! There is free car parking for guests. Travel expenses and childcare costs can be claimed from your TSG. \n  \nFeedback: \n“The sessions were all really engaging and relevant (and at times highly emotive -in a positive way). […] Really useful information from every session that was either directly applicable or thought provoking. Great info all round\, really well organised […]\, brilliant speakers and I took a lot away from it.” \n“I LOVED the bar stool sessions. […] The whole vibe of that evening and being in the bar was just wonderful. I enjoyed the free time sessions and Aviemore is a fantastic location. […] The time I had for external activities (enjoying the mountains etc) was perfect with the time for the retreat.” \n“I really appreciated that you invited speakers with very varied career paths\, also outside of academia. That was super interesting and a great inspiration for what is out there and possible with a phd.” \n“Really excellent accommodation and facilities makes for a comfortable stay.”
