On 25th June 2019, Early Career Researchers (ECR’s) from a wide range of disciplines came together for Global-NAMRIP’s Festival of Early Career Research in AMR, Infection Prevention and Vaccination, held at the University of Southampton Boldrewood Innovation Campus.

Poster being presented

Professor Tim Leighton, chair of Global-NAMRIP, presented the opening talk, welcoming NAMRIP members and those new to NAMRIP events including visitors from Hong Kong and Germany.

MSc/PhD students and research fellows presented over 40 posters to a large audience of fellow students, academics, clinicians and guests from government and industry including Public Health England, the Department of Health and Social Care and GlaxoSmithKline.

It was a great opportunity for ECR’s to meet and network with fellow researchers from different backgrounds working on AMR related projects as well as discuss their research with senior NAMRIP members and our external guests.

Many new connections were made and future collaborations discussed.  

NAMRIP exhibit

 

We were delighted that Winchester Science Centre transported our NAMRIP exhibit from the Science Centre to our Festival for the day, allowing attendees to try ‘The Most Dangerous Game in the World’. Ben Ward, the Director of the Centre, acted as one of our judges.

Judging of the posters took place throughout the day by our 19 judges. They assigned a mark for both the poster content and verbal explanation of the poster, taking into account the time each ECR had spent on their research. Final marks were quickly added up during afternoon coffee allowing prizes to be presented at the close of the Festival. A selection of the posters can be viewed below.

Professor Tim Leighton was pleased to present the ‘Best Poster by a Postdoctoral Researcher’ to Dr Odel Soren (National Biofilms Innovation Centre) and ‘Best Poster by a PhD/MSc Student’ to Kit Harling (School of Engineering), each receiving a prize of a £250 Amazon voucher.
