Events that bring together postgraduate students from across the Digital Economy Theme and allow networking between CDTs have been running since the establishment of the first group of EPSRC Digital Economy CDTs in 2009.

Under this theme, DEN aims to provide additional resource to support and expand this activity through the following mechanisms:

• The annual Digital Economy Summer Schools.
• Funding to support global and national events open to all postgraduate research students in the Digital Economy Theme e.g. Digital YES entrepreneurial events, cross-CDT PhD writing retreats and themed conferences.
