Students, staff, and industry partners are invited to join the School of Engineering’s first Young Researchers Conference. Final year undergraduates and postgraduate students are invited to present their research to an audience of peers, senior researchers, and industry partners.
Who can take part?
The Young Researchers Conference is for School of Engineering final year undergraduates and postgraduate students to present an original research project. For undergraduate students, this might be a poster from the third year Individual Project module, or a presentation from a Group Design Project. For PhD students, there may be initial results from doctoral research to present.
