Spring Retreat
The 2023 CDT Spring retreat took place from 27-31 March at Missenden Abbey. Our first year students spent the week at this residential retreat and shared their research plans with each other and CDT faculty members.

Our 2021 Spring Retreat was replaced by a series of weekly talks and discussions from our current first years to run from April 30-July 1. Each student introduced their research area and other students and faculty for a discussion of the topic following each student presentation.
Our 2020 Spring Retreat was held 29 April to 1 May 2020.
This was a remote meeting with students presenting their research in 30 minute talks via an online platform.
Members of the faculty joined the meeting to give feedback on these talks which were accompanied by lively discussions.
