AFCP Student Forum - 11 April 2019 at University of Reading

The AgriFood Charities Partnership (AFCP) conference is open to all students doing research which is funded, or part-funded by charities. This includes not only those studying for PhDs but also students doing a piece of research as part of their degree. The aim is to provide an opportunity for students working in Agriculture and Food to network and share knowledge and experiences.

Charity trustees and student supervisors are also welcome to attend.
