Tuesday 13 June, 12.45-14.00, TC007, Park Campus

Our Poster Presentation Competition was re-introduced and took place in person at our Park Campus. 

Our finalists were challenged to create a Poster Presentation to a brief set by our Head of Research Innovation, Professor Nigel McLoughlin, and were selected to represent their respective School.  

The Festival of Learning provided an opportunity for colleagues and research candidates to appreciate the variety of research activities that are taking place at UoG and witness the dedication and commitment towards research as it is happening.  We are excited to share their posters below.

Our Winners

Our finalists prepared their boards and were all geared up for a fiercely competitive final. Sadly, we could only have three winners and on the day we had two finalists scoring the same points. Our Vice-Chancellor, Stephen Marston, decided that it was only fair to award two 1st prizes and one People’s Choice.

Joint 1st Prize Winners

Inger Brit Lowater & Iris McCormick – huge congratulations to them both!

People’s Choice

Zainab Loukil – huge congratulations!
