The FoNS Research Showcase 2020 comprises two separate competitions for the PhD students: the first one is an oral presentation competition taking place during the 30th September (Departments of Chemistry and Life Sciences) and 1st October (Department of Physics, the Centre for Environmental Policy and Department of Mathematics). The second is a poster competition in which a panel will evaluate all posters in advance. ONLY talks are scheduled for the 30th September and 1st October, but you can check all posters participating at this competition here. Some presenters have included a three-minutes video describing their research!
** Read the poster abstracts in this booklet**
Note the prize winners of poster presenters will be announced on Friday 2nd October 2020.
