The Festival of Doctoral Research is about celebrating and showcasing the University's excellent doctoral research, but we also wanted to recognise the exceptional achievements of our researchers beyond their particular research projects.
We had over 50?award nominations, of such a?high?quality, that the Judging Panel could not pick just one winner in each of the four categories. Congratulations to all those who were nominated - it was a real pleasure to read through and reward?the fantastic acheivements of our PGR community.
Thank you to postgraduate researcher Mengyang Zhu for capturing some?great?shots of the Festival Closing Reception and presentation of the awards.
