Students from the University of Otago, Christchurch and other tertiary institutions in Canterbury will present the results of their summer research projects on Friday January 27 at the Christchurch Netball Centre (9am-1.30pm).
The 38 studentships are supported by sponsors with a grant of $5000 for each student. This is often the first chance for many medical and science students to experience health research under supervision of a clinician or scientist, which may then lead to a research career.
