Doctoral Research Showcase

Doctoral Research Showcase 2019
Doctoral Research Showcase 2019

The Doctoral Research Showcase has now been postponed until Autumn 2020.

This event will show case a wide variety of doctoral research projects from across the disciplines, through a mix of posters, exhibits and hands-on activities. Exhibitors will be eligible for a number of Showcase Awards. Taking part in the Research Showcase is a fantastic opportunity to present your work to a multi-disciplinary audience (something increasingly expected of all researchers).

If you have an upcoming conference, why not come along to practice talking and answering questions about your research and to get feedback about your poster/exhibit from experienced academics. You're also very welcome to submit posters or exhibits you have presented before (there's no requirement to design something new), to be in with a chance of winning a prize!

The Showcase will be an open event for the University community (fellow PGRs/staff/students) plus invited VIPs and guests. Showcase content should be designed with this general audience in mind.
