Science Graduate School Showcase 2024

The strength and breadth of research underway in the University of Sheffield’s Faculty of Science will be on display at the Science Graduate School Research Showcase event 2024.

The event will be held on Tuesday 30th April at the Octagon Centre, Sheffield and will provide an opportunity for staff and students from across the University to come along and talk to around 160 of the Faculty of Science’s postgraduate research students.

The day's schedule includes:

The presenting students will be around half way through their PhD projects and will present their research in poster form at this exciting interdisciplinary event.

In addition to showcasing the excellent research already taking place across the Faculty of Science, the event aims to increase awareness amongst students and staff of the wide range of research being carried out and to encourage interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration across the Faculty.

The showcase is also an excellent opportunity to develop the confidence of the Faculty's enthusiastic PhD students in communicating their work to researchers from other disciplines.

Dr Andrew Furley, Director of the Faculty of Science Graduate School, said: “We are working at a time when undertaking research across disciplines is becoming increasingly important as a means of tackling the world’s most complex challenges as effectively as possible. It is, therefore, vital that our postgraduate researchers learn the skills that will enable them to work across disciplinary boundaries and such events provide an opportunity to recognise the importance of effective communication.”
