Abstract submission (now closed):
We are keen to showcase our PhD student and ECR research in our poster exhibition, please submit an abstract of your research (this could be based on an existing poster) when you register. The poster exhibition is a great opportunity to speak about your research to other Insigneo members and academics. There is also the opportunity that you may be invited to present in one of our research theme sessions during the day. We are offering three poster prizes this year (see below for details).
The deadline for abstract submissions for the poster display is 8 April 2024. To submit an abstract you will need to register for the Insigneo Showcase. You will be asked if you wish to submit an abstract as part of this process.
Insigneo Poster Prize
We are pleased to offer a prize for the best poster for each research theme at the Insigneo Showcase this year. There will be a £50 prize for the best poster, judged by a Research Theme Director.
