The recent “Gathering for Postgraduate Students” was successfully held on 25 November 2024, serving as a much-needed respite for students immersed in their research journeys.

The activities, including lively table tennis matches, provided a wonderful opportunity for our research postgraduate students to unwind while engaging in meaningful conversations with their peers, supervisors, and HPE colleagues. The atmosphere was vibrant as students and our colleagues gathered over a light lunch, sparking connections among attendees, and sharing their study or supervising experiences and insights. The relaxed environment allowed for exchanging ideas, creating a supportive community among postgraduate students and academic colleagues.
