Images of Research 2012 now open for submissions

Images can arouse the curiosity of people of all ages and professions and can provide an insight into the interior of a researcher’s world.
We invite you to submit an image that depicts your research topic, environment or the impact that your research potentially has. If your image is selected, it will be displayed in a showcase following the University Graduate School lecture on March 15th and will be seen by the research community here at the University of Birmingham (UoB).  The deadline is February 23rd. 
Go to the webpage for more details of what we are looking for and how to submit.
Have a look at last year's entries on the UGS Flickr account.
If you have any questions please feel free to email University Graduate School: graduateschool@contacts.bham.ac.uk
