About

The history of Behind the Research.

  • April 2022

    Our Humble Beginnings

    Started as an idea between SAMBa CDT and Kat to create a legacy toolkit for the PhD students in the maths department to take part in public engagement.

  • May 2022

    Public Engagement Support

    The project was awarded a Public engagement grant to set up the "Content Creation Toolkit", and Behind the Research was born, recruiting it's first three team members.

  • June 2022

    Our First Big Project

    To kick things off we decided to go big, and use the SAMBa Integrative Think Tank as a place to start! We recorded the entire week, documenting the journey of two of the team members through participating in the event. This was our first big vlog video!

  • Oct 2022

    Live in 3,2,1...

    After a summer of training and planning we went live on twitch with our first ever Livestream! Since then we've streamed every month, inviting a variety of guests on to share their experiences.

  • Jun 2023

    Showing off in style!

    We were honoured to be invited to present as part of the Doctoral Awards Showcase. We got wined and dined and met so many interesting people from across the doctoral college. You can check out the poster we presented here

  • And
    so much
    more!
