Dr Cathy Smith, Dean of Research & Knowledge Exchange, announced the winners of the 2023-2024 Images of Research competition at the in person day of the Annual Research Conference on 25th June.

Out of a collection of 23 fabulous research images from across the University of Northampton, Lewis Collins and Sonika Divakar et al was chosen by guest judges, Dr Cathy Smith and Lorna Jowett, Professor of Media and Culture, as the overall winners of this year’s Images of Research with their image entitled ‘Interstitial Forms’. The Runner Up was Karen Anthony with her image entitled ‘How do you like your eggs in the morning?’.

A public vote where 115 members of the UON community voted for their favourite images saw Adil Farooq take home the People’s Choice award with his image titled ‘The Roots of Sustainability: Nurturing a Greener Future’.

IoR showcases research in a unique way – researchers produce an original image, which can be a photograph or artwork, and write a short, engaging summary describing how the image links to their research. This results in an exciting exhibition, showcasing UONs research diversity.

We would like to thank everyone who participated by sending us an image, and extend a massive congratulations to the winners!
