The 14th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference 

On Wednesday 30 November 2022, the Doctoral College will host our 14th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference. 

The conference is an opportunity for all postgraduate researchers at Bournemouth University to share their research using a variety of methods, across a range of platforms. Attending the conference is a great opportunity to engage and network with fellow PGRs and to find out more about the fascinating research taking place across BU. 

The poster exhibition will take place in the Fusion Building at Bournemouth University on Wednesday 30 November, you can also view the posters below and some pre-recorded presentations. All oral presentations will be hosted online with a campus screening.
