Festival of Research 2024

The PGR Images of Research competition aims to highlight the fantastic research that is undertaken by the Postgraduate Research Community at Stirling. All shortlisted entries will be exhibited as part of the Festival of Research in May.

The competition offers postgraduate researchers across the University an opportunity to showcase their research in a creative and innovative manner, it is a fantastic opportunity to develop public engagement skills, by challenging yourself to communicate your research to a non-specialist audience. 
 

Campus Central, third floor - in the open-plan area.

In this session, we will introduce the new Research and Innovation Strategy. Through a series of short presentations, we will discuss the vision and structure of the Strategy, and the delivery plan and give some examples of how it could be put into practice by our researchers.

The session will be led by Professor Judith Phillips who will be joined by Professor Scott Hames (Associate Dean for Research, Faculty of Arts and Humanities), Professor Nigel Willby (Associate Dean for Research, Faculty of Natural Sciences), Linsey Dickson (Director of Research Services), Professor Andrew Tyler and Dr Fiona Millar (Scotland Hydro Nation Chair and Programme Manager) and Lesley Palmer (Professor of Ageing and Dementia Design).

The session will take the form of a presentation summarising the ways research integrity fits into our research culture and feedback from integrity training sessions this semester.

This will be followed by World Café style discussions led by Rachel Beaton and Professor Rachel Norman to allow for connections with colleagues for collaborative conversations prioritising the development of research integrity initiatives within the broader research culture context and to identify practical solutions as we cultivate a shared commitment to a culture of integrity and ethical conduct across the University.
