Interactive Exhibition

Doctoral researchers are encouraged to showcase activities and outputs related to their research that attendees can actively engage with at the Summer Showcase.

Imagine demonstrating the cutting-edge research equipment or innovative techniques you use, displaying something unique created as a result of your work, or even offering interactive experiences like virtual reality simulations, hands-on experiments, or live demonstrations of your research processes. This is your chance to captivate the audience and bring your research to life in an exciting and interactive way!

 If successful, your 150 word text may be included on the event webpage and associated documentation. 

Subject to approval - we may need to check the safety implications of what you would like to share and you may need to seek permission from your School before showcasing.
