Coventry University will once again be awarding one postgraduate researcher the title of Postgraduate Researcher of the Year. One nominee representing each faculty or University Research Centre will compete for the title. There will be a cash prize of £1000 for the overall winner and £100 for each nominee.
Faculties and URCs have been 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 will present their research during the Research Hootenanny on Thursday 16 January from 10.30 to 13.00. Our panel of judges will mark the nominees presentations and interview each candidate.
