Deadline for Research Poster Conference approaching

There’s not long left until the deadline of March 16th so apply now!  The application form won’t take long and the deadline for the poster isn’t until May 18^th.  We can not stress enough how useful and worthwhile the Research Poster Conference is to all researchers here at UoB in every college and at every stage of research.  This is a major skills development exercise, there will be cash prizes (given for every college) and this is UoB’s researcher event of the year so get involved!  Even if you have never made a poster before and don’t know what an abstract is you are encouraged to apply as much as everyone else as we can provide the training and all of the information.  We even organise and print your posters at no cost to you and you get to keep the poster. 

 

Please click here for the webpage and information and how to apply.  If you have any questions please contact the poster conference team on posterconference@contacts.bham.ac.uk

 

We look forward to receiving your application!

Twitter competition

You can win £50 Amazon voucher with just a tweet.  Simply answer ‘What animal do you think would make the best postgraduate researcher?’ and tweet at us @UoBGradSchool  In the office the thought occurred to us that an octopus would make a pretty efficient PGR – let’s not forget a certain octopus predicted the winner of the world cup in the past.  Perhaps you have better ideas?
