Each person who presents a poster will have the opportunity to network and talk with other delegates about your work during our poster session on the first day of the conference (9th February from 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.). You will stand by your poster and have informal discussions with others, which will help to raise your personal profile across the academic community and promote your research project. Above all the best presentation, as voted by the keynote speakers, will receive a prize.

Who Can Give a Poster?

·        PhD students – posters can focus on theory, research methodologies, field work, preliminary results or your research conclusions. This means that students at any point during their thesis can present their ideas or research outcomes.

·        Other postgraduate students – who are involved in research projects.

·        Museum professionals – who want to highlight research happening within their museum.
