The Festival of Doctoral Research will run from 12 – 27 May 2016. The festival, first of its kind at Southampton, is jam-packed with engaging events designed to showcase the research of our brilliant postgraduate-research community and to inspire students from around the University.

The following events may be particularly relevant to our undergraduate and postgraduate-taught community:
Voices of Experience Q&A: An interactive and insightful session bringing together a panel of final-year doctoral and post-doctoral researchers, who will discuss ‘Things I wish I’d known at the start of my PhD’. If you are a doctoral researcher, PGT student or UG who is looking at future possibilities, then this is for you. Details TBA.
Engagement Showcase: From science festivals to research-based stand-up comedy, find out how to get involved in Public Engagement in Research. This interactive event is mainly aimed at Doctoral Researchers but would be interesting for everyone.
3 Minute Thesis Grand Final: 8 PhD researchers, who are competing to represent the university at the national finals, will give a 3 minute presentation on their thesis.
Researchers Café: This popular event enables researchers to meet each other and other staff, students and the public to discuss their research in an informal space.
Pint of Science: Although not specifically part of the festival, Pint of Science are a series of events that fall within the same period aiming to deliver interesting, fun, relevant talks on the latest science research in an accessible format to the public – all in the pub.
