Coventry University once again awarded one postgraduate researcher the title of ‘Postgraduate Researcher of the Year’. One nominee representing each faculty or University Research Centre competed for the title. There was a cash prize of £1000 for the overall winner and £100 for each nominee.
Faculties and URCs were asked to select nominees who are outstanding in their faculty/URC, are producing high quality research and are an active member of your research community.
The nominees presented their research during the Research Hootenanny on Thursday 16 January from 10.30 to 13.00. Our panel of judges marked the nominees presentations and interviewed each candidate.
