Research week
Develop your research skills, engage with and learn from our research community in our annual research week

Research week runs annually in collaboration with the University of Essex. The aim of the week is to create a community for our researchers, developing links across doctoral research programmes and the wider research community at The Tavistock and Portman. The week includes our doctoral conference which brings together staff and students from the Tavistock and Portman and University of Essex.
All who are interested in research at The Tavistock and Portman are welcome to attend. The week is especially useful for doctoral research students as it offers the opportunity to develop key research skills and the doctoral conference offers a platform for some students to present their work.
Research Week 2023 will took place between Monday 27 to Thursday 30 March.
