UCL Doctoral School Research Poster Competition 2018

Research Poster Competition 2018

On 5th and 6th March, 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.

The competition, originally scheduled for February had to be postponed then. Sadly, after changing the dates there was a large drop in the number of participants. Overall 210 registered for this year's competition, although only 96 students finally participated in the competition in June.

Thanks to all the students who entered.
