Career development
One of MARCH’s strategic aims is to aid in developing research leadership in the Women, Children and Adolescent health research fields, particularly by increasing diversity and supporting the next generation of female leaders.
Summer project match-making: MARCH facilities a highly sought-after ‘match-making’ service for students to find summer research projects, a component of the Masters programmes at LSHTM, helping students source ideas and available projects in the Women, Children and Adolescent health fields, and providing advice on how to find the right project.
Student liaisons: MARCH appoints theme-specific student liaisons, which provide students the opportunity to work directly with senior staff and gain skills useful for future roles, from collating a termly member newsletter to helping facilitate events. MARCH members also benefit from increased engagement with students through the liaisons to aid their teaching practices and increase student engagement
