A day in the life of project manager: Donna Palmer

Donna Palmer

Donna has spent the past three years working as a project manager at Pera. She talks to Rachel Bolton-King about her typical day

Pera is a research technology organisation that supports small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop new products by getting funding from UK or European public funding programmes for collaborative R&D projects. Donna’s work focuses on environmental research projects, such as developing new technologies for cleaning up contaminated land.
