After the talks there will be a buffet reception and plenty time to network with fellow Leeds graduates from countries within the Gulf region as well as the University of Leeds staff that will be attending the event.

 

The reception and refreshments are generously being sponsored by Qatar Telecoms (Qtel) and the University of Leeds is most appreciative and very grateful for this support.
