Winning projects at Research Showcase 2015
On Wednesday 17 June, the Graduate School’s Research Showcase 2015 gave researchers from across the University the chance to discuss their work and the real-life impact it could have. Over 40 researchers presented posters explaining their projects, which were then judged by members of the public and non-academic University staff for clarity and creativity. The day also featured a keynote speech from Timandra Harkness, writer and performer.
The winners are below – a huge congratulations to all researchers who took part! You can also scroll down to see our Storify of the event for highlights, a closer look at the projects and some thoughts from the public.
