Professor Gordon Blunn and Joe Shoebridge, on behalf of the Health & Wellbeing Theme, are excited to invite you to the first Hub meetings.
The Hubs will bring together researchers from across the institution with shared interests in healthcare technologies and mental health and wellbeing, from prosthesis to big data, biofilms to home adaptations, ageing well to substance abuse, exercise for wellbeing to mental health in childhood, and everything in between. Each month the Hubs will hold a seminar including a keynote talk from an external speaker alongside a related talk from a UoP academic. These talks will stimulate conversations and will help facilitate future collaborations.

It’s a pity the event on 32st clashes with the University’s Black Writers event

Thank you for your message, unfortunately it is impossible for us to schedule these events such that they do not clash with something else going on at the University of Portsmouth. The Hubs will be held monthly so there will plenty of opportunities to attend.
