The Centre Director, Shaun Gregory, shared a status report on CBT’s 2025 progress at a Town Hall Meeting. The HDRs and ECRs gather for a pre-event.
The CBT community was also introduced to the new CBT Future Leader Committee, supporting our buzzing ECR/HDR cohort. The Centre Development Manager, Dr Norbert Kienzle shared how CBT’s multiple communication channels benefit the Centre and its researchers. The event offered an opportunity to ask questions and meet colleagues to discuss the Centre’s activities and plans.
