This interdisciplinary one-day conference aims to bring together postgraduate research students from chemical and biological engineering and related disciplines to present their research and ideas, meet other research students and develop contacts and presentation skills in a friendly and supportive environment.
The conference is aimed at research students of all levels and both seminar presentations and posters are welcome. Prizes will be awarded for the best seminar and poster.
Dr Jagroop Pandhal Postgraduate Research Admissions Tutor said;
"Last year's conference was a huge success - we are a research-led department and the core of this is our fantastic community of Postgraduate Research students."
"Our annual PGR Conference is a fantastic way to showcase PGR's research and share ideas, but also to demonstrate the vibrant community we have. Invitation to the seminars and post sessions is open to all."
