More dates coming soon...

Scenic Walks

HillsJoin us as we take a trip off campus to explore the amazing countryside that surrounds the University of Sussex. These walks are a great opportunity to take a break from your research, get some fresh air and socialise with your fellow JRAs, and feel free to bring a picnic along.

More dates coming soon...

Crafting Sessions

CraftTake a break from your research and learn a new skill, as we will provide all the necessary materials and guidance to help you create beautiful handmade crafts. If you already have some craft you are working on, such as knitting, crochet, painting, drawing, etc... and you would just like the company, then feel free to bring this with you instead.

More dates coming soon...

End of Summer Celebration

PartyCome and enjoy the company of your fellow JRAs and celebrate the completion of your research (even if you haven’t quite finished yet). This event is the perfect opportunity to unwind, relax, and have a great time with friends.
