The Graduate School would like to invite you to their 11th Annual Poster Competition on Wednesday 18^th May 2016, 11am to 2pm, in the Dialog Cafe, ground floor of Rockingham Library, Park Campus.

The poster competition is a development opportunity for doctoral research students, who present their research on an A1 poster, giving short 1-1 verbal presentations alongside. So why not come along to meet some of our research students. They have been given a brief to present their research for a general, non-specialist audience, accessible to all.

If you are a researcher or a research student yourself why not come along to support your colleagues. The event is a competition and we are offering a first prize of £100, and two second prizes of £75 for the top three posters. We will have judges circulating, picked from academic and non-academic staff, plus external visiting judges. Judges will score the posters on design, accessibility of content, verbal presentation and researcher engagement. The prizes will be announced at 1:45pm. Also announced will be the winners of the Graduate School’s Images of Research event – there is still time to vote online!

We hope to see you there. Please direct any questions about the event or competition to Simone Apel.
