Images of Research 2025: voting now open!
The Graduate School’s 2025 Images of Research (IoR) is now open for ‘People’s Choice’ voting. This year we have a collection of 11 fabulous research images from across the university. 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 UON’s research diversity.
To vote for your favourites, view the Images of Research Brochure, then choose your favourite two in the IoR 2025 Voting Form. Please vote for your favourite two in no particular order, taking into account BOTH the image and the abstract. As a guide, a winning image would be one that:
* Is visually appealing AND
* Has an accompanying abstract which is well written, clearly connects with the image and ensures viewers, who know nothing about the research topic, will understand and find interest in the research presented.
The People’s Choice closes on Monday 23rd June at 12pm Please note that there is only one vote submission allowed per person, and voting is restricted to the UON community.
We are also holding a second competition around Images of Research. Each year we invite guest judges to choose a winner. The winners of both competitions will be announced at the UON Research Conference at Waterside on Tuesday 24th June.
Good luck to all our entrants!
DEADLINE EXTENDED: Images of Research 2025
All researchers (staff and research students) at the University of Northampton are invited to participate as the Call for Images is open. Create a unique image – a painting or a photograph – that captures the essence of your research or captures an element of it in an artistic way. Include a catchy title and a 150 word summary and your entry for Images of Research will be ready for submission. You can find more information on how to apply in the IoR 2024-25 Rules and Guidelines.
As in previous years, this year’s IoR will consist of two parts – viewers can vote for their top three favourites and a ‘guest’ judge will pick their top three as well. All you need to do is make sure that your entries follow the Rules and Guidelines linked above and submit your image via this form by the close date of May 31.
The Graduate School launched its first Images of Research in 2013. Justin Lance, then Head of Corporate Programmes at NBS said of it “this is such a wonderfully simple, yet powerful, concept to showcase the diversity and flamboyance of research across the University.” Indeed, this is a perfect opportunity for you to express your creativity and engage a broader audience with your research. Every year, Images of Research are displayed around campus and selected images find their way into different University publications.
Browse through the Images of Research 2024 Brochure to take a look at last year’s entries.
If you are a researcher we invite you to participate in our 13th Images of Research. If you have any questions please contact Lina in the Graduate School.
