BFWG Research Presentations Day 2015

BFWG

The British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG) holds a Research Presentations Day each year, at which women postgraduate students are invited to give short presentations of their research work to a general audience. A prize of £100 is offered for the presentation judged ‘best’ in terms of quality of presentation and ability to communicate the subject to an educated but general audience.

Closing date for abstracts is Friday March 20th 2015

All undergraduates, postgraduates, members of BFWG and others who are interested will be very welcome to attend the day even if they do not wish to submit a paper.  There is no charge for  students, whether or not they are presenting a paper, but there is a charge of £10 on the door for others.  The Research Presentations Day is usually a good opportunity to meet other postgraduate women students and to look objectively at the presentation styles of others.  It can be a useful learning experience and an opportunity for networking.

Date: 16th May 2015
Time: All Day
Location: 142 Battersea Park Road, London SW11 4NB
