We look forward to welcoming Research students to present at our FREE two-day event held, in person, at the Severn Campus of the 91´óÉñ.
The call for papers is now open!
Under the theme of ICE – IGNITE.CONNECT.ENGAGE - the conference aims to bring together postgraduate researchers from all disciplines, stages of research, and backgrounds. This is a great opportunity for all postgraduate research students to present and discuss your research in front of a supportive audience and to develop and enhance your skills in sharing your work.
We invite postgraduate research students from all disciplines to submit an abstract for a range of presentation formats.
"The PGR conference gave me the opportunity to think about my research, to plan, to write, and of course present. While I knew that what I would be presenting something that is far from being complete, I also knew that I would have a supportive audience. The feedback and questions at the end were extremely useful. I also learnt a lot from the keynote speakers and just generally found the whole experience uplifting. For me, the conference, and the acronym of ICE - ignite, connect, engage - was exactly what I needed to get back on track."
