"The WISE & LSHTM-Nagasaki Joint PhD Day"

During this event, 20 students in the Nagasaki University Doctoral Programme for World-leading Innovative and Smart Education for Global Health (WISE Programme) including 14 LSHTM-Nagasaki University Joint PhD students will give 5-minute turbo talks. As you can see from the titles below, these talks will provide an overview of the range of research the competitively selected students have been involved in together with Nagasaki University and LSHTM supervisors. This is an excellent opportunity for prospective students, researchers who are interested in the international collaborative research between UK and Japan, and people in business sector who are seeking advisors/experts in global health.

We look forward to seeing you at the symposium and PhD Day!
