We are delighted to announce that our annual Faculty of Health Postgraduate Research Showcase will be taking place this year at the Rolle Marquee on Friday 6 June.
Please join us to celebrate and support our PGR students as they present their research, meet fellow researchers and academics, and support your PGR community.
With keynote speakers, oral presentations, over 50 poster displays, sponsor stands, networking activities and a chance to vote for your favourite posters, this will be a wonderful day.
Coffee, pastries, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided!
All PGRs are invited to a student BBQ at the Reservoir Cafe to celebrate and unwind, at the end of the day. An invitation for registration will be circulated by your PGR reps.
We look forward to seeing you there!
