The call for abstracts is open for the 2024 EMDoc PGR conference. If you are studying for a doctorate at UON you are eligible to apply. EMDoc consists of nine Midlands universities who are keen to work collaboratively to share best practice, resources and insights into doctoral research across all disciplines. The EMDoc Conference is a great opportunity for PGRs to discuss and promote their research as well as network with other researchers from across the East Midlands.

This year’s conference will be hosted online by the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, and will take place online on 25th September 2024. UON PGRs are invited to submit abstracts for the conference (submission deadline Monday 10th June).

The theme for the 2024 EMDoc conference is ‘Collaborations, Connections and Positive Change: Imagining Possible Futures Through Research’. This event seeks to support cross-disciplinary
and cross-institutional dialogue and collaboration, inviting contributions from PGRs working across subject areas.

We invite PGR candidates from across all nine universities to come together to share their research, exchange ideas with their peers, and celebrate the outstanding, innovative work being undertaken by our doctoral community in the East Midlands. This conference is a fantastic opportunity to practice communicating your research, and to make an active contribution to our regional community of researchers. You will learn about research underway in other subject areas, broaden your understanding of different academic perspectives and methodologies, and network with other PGRs.
This conference will be free to attend, and is for PGRs working in any subject area, at any stage of their studies. It will be hosted online via Zoom, and include parallel panel sessions, shorter ‘lightning’ presentations and an online display of research posters.

During the EMDoc Conference, we will also hold a Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition, where the winners of each University will present their research in three minutes. To enter into UON’s 3-Minute Thesis, which will be held at our Research Conference on 26th June at 1pm, please apply with this form. Our winner will go through to the EMDoc conference competition.
