Excel Staff Development Programme

Introduction

This programme is for researchers, professional services staff and technicians employed by the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, the Department of Psychiatry, and the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford.* 

The Excel Programme provides training to enhance personal and career development, and a forum where staff can build working relationships with their counterparts in other departments.

Meetings will be held both up and down the hill. Each session will consist of half an hour of networking over tea and coffee, followed by two half-hour talks.
