Call for Papers/Contributions

This year the theme of the conference is ‘Addressing Societal Challenges’.

We welcome contributions from staff of all disciplines, topics, and stages of research. We want to know how your research is responsible, relates to the university, society or the wider research community.

We’d like you to choose how you present your research, options include:

• Presenting a paper
• Round table discussions
• Submitting a poster
• Performance/screening/artefacts
• Short talks (10 mins) on developing research projects
• Pecha Kucha - a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (six minutes and 40 seconds in total). The format keeps presentations concise and fast-paced.

This is a great opportunity to showcase your project in a supportive academic environment and receive feedback to inform the development of your research. You can present alone or with your colleagues/research students.
