Lectures on conservation research at Cardiff University

Cardiff University is offering an alumni CPD event for graduates
from our undergraduate and postgraduate conservation degree
programmes. This will be one day of lectures on the most recent
developments in research at Cardiff University. The event will
provide an update of the latest research and analytical approaches
being carried out by the Conservation and Science staff. We hope
that this day will be the first of an annual series.

The CPD even will be on the 1 July 2011 and will cost UKP20 to cover
the cost of lunch and coffee. We have organised it for a Friday in
the hope that people are able to stay on for a meal in the evening
and have a chance to catch up on news in a relaxed setting.

The programme will be
