Date and time
Description
The Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences Graduate School and Graduate Society are delighted to announce the second annual Postgraduate Research (PGR) Showcase event, taking place on the 11th of September 2014 from 9am to 5pm. Open to all postgraduates and academics, the Showcase provides an opportunity to find out more about the pioneering research being conducted by PGR students across the Faculty, with oral and poster presentations representing all of the Faculty's Schools and Institutes.
Expert review panels will provide feedback to support and develop the presentation skills of the oral presensters, whilst peer review opportunities will develop the assessment skills of postgraduates in attendance. Prizes will be awarded for both oral and poster presentations. Our network of Postgraduate Directors, Tutors and Skills Trainers will be on hand to offer further advice to those planning poster or oral presentations at future events.
The event includes lunch and coffee breaks, during which there will be opportunities for students to network with other postgraduates and to visit our sponsor stalls.
Whether you are just beginning your postgraduate degree, or are due to make the leap into your first postdoctoral position, or are an academic involved in postgraduate supervision, the Showcase promises to be an invaluable day.
