Congratulations to recent School of Law PhD student Pessi Honkasalo, who won a coveted prize at the Association of British Turkish Academics’ Doctoral Researcher Awards 2012 held in UCL’s Wilkins Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre last month. In a scheme designed to promote and reward academic and scientific excellence among young researchers pursuing doctoral degrees in the UK, applicants were initially required to submit their research portfolios and representative publications to the judging panel. Finalists were then given the opportunity to present their work to the judges.
