As part of the annual CU Research Hootenanny, 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.
