Festival of Research 10th−14th June

PGR Showcase: Understanding How our Work Contributes to Sustainability

Tuesday 11th June, 10:00 to 13:00, EWD Events Space and Atrium

This event is designed to promote discussion and enhance the understanding of how the research PGRs are involved in may be able to contribute to the sustainability agenda.

With a particular focus on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this event will allow for discussion of the SDGs in the wider context, through showcasing ongoing postgraduate research (your work!) and allowing for discussion of how your research can contribute to and promote sustainability and sustainable practices.  

We are organising a morning of talks that includes Professor David Simon from the Geography department.

A key part of this event is that we would like PGRs to showcase their work in a poster to be displayed in the Atrium and use this as a chance to meet other researchers and discuss how all research can in some way contribute to sustainability in its many creative forms. Printing of the posters will be organised through the Doctoral School, with submission details to follow.

This is an invitation to all PGRs to contribute a poster to this event and to showcase your work. We want this to be an inclusive event so even if you cannot think how your research is or can be contributing to sustainability, please do show your work and be part of the discussion!

Deadline for the Doctoral School to organise printing for your posters: Tuesday 4th June 12pm.

To submit your expression of interest to showcase a poster or just attend the event please fill in the form.

Guidelines for Posters:

  • Size A3 either landscape or portrait.
  • Poster aim: To provide information on the overarching research aim of your work (not the details). A suggested format is as follows:
    • Include the core research questions and/or aims
    • Include the potential findings and conclusions
    • Highlight the main message
    • If you feel comfortable, include how it contributes to an aspect of sustainability (or link to an SDG).

Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided.
