News: Many thanks for your submission to the 3D Research Model competition at this year’s Postgraduate Summer Research Showcase (PSRS 2016). We appreciate the time and effort you have put into your application, but unfortunately we have had to cancel this competition as we did not receive a sufficient quantity of submissions.
However, as you may be aware, PSRS 2016 will also feature a poster competition, as well as research image and short film competitions. We would very much like to encourage you therefore to consider submitting to one of these other competitions and presenting your research in an alternative format.
The deadline for submissions to participate in these aspects of PSRS 2016 is Friday 20th May and more details (including submission guidelines) can be found in the relevant pages.
Please accept our apologies once again for any inconvenience caused and do get in touch if you have any further queries. We look forward to receiving your poster, image or short film proposals!
An exciting addition to the Showcase in 2016 will be the 3D research model awards. This competition will challenge postgraduate researchers to share their research, and its impact, through a 3D structural model, with the theme being "Research in action".
Presenting your research as a 3D research model represents a unique medium of engaging others in your research. By stripping away all the technical language and leaving behind the core question of your research, you can highlight its overall impact without having to explain all the technical details. The theme can be interpreted as broadly as you would like. However, the model must represent the research and its impact, or potential impact, whether that is at the individual, local, national or international level. All models should be accompanied by a title (no more than 50 words) and a caption (no more than 300 words) both of which should clearly explain the purpose and the impact of your 3D model.
