The Interdisciplinary Research Forum holds a number events to help bring areas of research together across London Met and other UK universities. This is a chance for colleagues and students to find out more about a particular area of research, as well as form close networks.

Each of our Interdisciplinary Research Forum events is reported on by a London Met researcher or PhD student.
