The past few months have been extremely busy for our first cohort of students with preparing for their first year progress reviews, completing their 2nd group projects and finalising their assignments for the ILM qualification in Leadership and Management. To bring the first year to a close the CDT-EI Summer School 2015 was hosted by Loughborough University and involved a visit to Donington Park. The Summer School gave the cohort an opportunity to reflect on their first year of PhD study and celebrated the end of their combined year 1 and the camaraderie they have formed. They will now return to their home institutions to continue their studies.
