"I benefitted a great deal from my summer internship with the IPR. During our collaboration, Dr Charles Larkin and Dr Shaen Corbet provided comprehensive guidance on how to apply the knowledge I had accumulated from my degree to research on a relevant market. At all times, I felt that my input was valued, which was particularly encouraging. Thanks to the IPR, I see a career in this sector, and am excited for the future." Jac McCluskey, BSc Economics
