Welcome all to our annual event that will showcase the amazing work our PGR students have been up to. The conferences comprises “standard”, live, oral presentations by our 3rd year students, pre-recorded presentations by our 2nd year students with whom it will be possible to discuss the topic presented in separate meeting rooms and short, pre-recorded presentations where our new, 1st year students will introduce themselves.
