Exeter Undergraduate Research Showcase takes place

THE Exeter Undergraduate Research Showcase, an annual exhibition of research that students have undertaken during their time at Exeter, is taking place between Monday 23rd and Friday 27th January.

The showcase is taking place both online and in person at Streatham, St Luke’s and Penryn campuses during the week. Professor Tim Quine will be giving the keynote speech at the Streatham launch event.

Winning entries to the showcase will receive Amazon vouchers and paid entry to the British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR) set to take place in Warwick in April.

The showcase is especially intended for those hoping to do PhDs and engage in further study, but was open to all undergraduate entries.

It offers a valuable opportunity to have experts look over undergraduate work and present undergraduate work to the public.

Jack Liversedge, Guild VP Education who is helping to judge the competition, told Exeposé:

“I am really excited to have been asked to judge this year's Undergraduate Research Showcase. The Showcase provides a fantastic opportunity for students to network with each other and promote their research to academics, which is something that I am very happy to support.”

A university spokesperson said: "The Undergraduate Research Showcase (UGRS) is an annual exhibition of research that students have undertaken during their time at Exeter. It provides a fantastic opportunity for participants to network with other students and promote their research to the wider academic community. The event provides an opportunity to not only develop their communication skills, but also gain relevant experience for use in applications for funding and further study, such as a PhD."
