The 5th Annual SIPR Postgraduate Symposium will be held in Edinburgh on Monday 9th December 2019.

This symposium offers an excellent opportunity for students to have their work shared to a wide academic and professional audience with a view to making an impact on policing in Scotland. Additionally it is a wonderful chance for postgraduate students across Scotland and the UK to network.

Finally, there are prizes for the best presentation and the best poster presented on the day. These prestigious awards are judge by a panel of senior academics and practitioners. The prizes aim to provide the winners with the opportunity to collaborate with SIPR and Police Scotland to consider how their research can be further developed and how it might inform policing practice in Scotland. This level of access to established researchers and police practitioners will afford the winners a unique opportunity to contribute to the body of knowledge that informs policing and the potential for their research to have a direct impact on police practice in Scotland.Participants will also be invited to have their work published on the SIPR blog which is disseminated to a large network of researchers and practitioners.

Registration is free and lunch and refreshments will be provided to attendees.
