All postgraduate researchers are invited to participate in the Middlesex University Research Students’ Summer conference. This annual conference is dedicated to showcasing the innovative research undertaken by our postgraduate students. Students across all faculties and partner institutions are invited to share their findings as well as their work in progress. The conference is conducted in a friendly and supportive manner to enable students to share work, network, and make connections across disciplines and faculties.
The theme of the conference is ‘Enriching lives through research’.
The Middlesex research community is a diverse and multifaceted one and this event is an golden opportunity to showcase research that is innovative, high-quality, and contributes to a prosperous society that enriches everyone through a multiplicity of ways. A wide range of disciplines are represented in our research community (from computing, to art, design, healthcare, social sciences, psychology, law, to business and more!) and thus this conference provides fertile ground for discussions across and beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. All postgraduate research students should present at the conference. Early stage postgraduate students are especially encouraged to submit a poster or abstract so that they benefit from multiple perspectives on their work in progress.
The Summer Conference this year is chaired by Dr Agi Ryder, Prof Eleonore Kofman and Dr Tuan Le (Programme).
The conference will take place at our Hendon campus in person on 3rd July. To accommodate international and distance learning students the second day, 4th July, will take place exclusively online.
