Description

SPARC is a forum for developing research, offering a space for postgraduate researchers from all disciplines to exchange ideas. Taking part or coming along as an audience member will enable you to actively engage with Salford’s PGR community, while also developing confidence and presentation skills at the same time. The focus of this year’s conference is on researchers as agents of change. In addition to the traditional papers there will be a stream dedicated to interactive presentations, and also the final of Salford's 3 Minute Thesis competition.
