In March 2004, we ran a Research Poster Competition which offered graduate students an opportunity to meet, advertise and discuss the innovative research they are undertaking, thereby providing them with an opportunity to raise the profile of their research.
Posters were displayed in the JBR, Old Refectory and the South Cloisters. The exhibition attracted interest among academics and other graduate students.
