Do you want an opportunity to share your research beyond academia, get valuable Public Engagement experience, and maybe even win a prize?
The York Graduate Research School (YGRS) invites you to apply to take part in PhD Spotlight 2024, part of the prestigious YorkTalks event.
We’re looking for Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs i.e. PhD, MPhil and Masters by Research candidates) to take part in a live event, where you’ll create a display or interactive experience that communicates your research to the public in creative and accessible ways.
Previous finalists have recreated a crime scene, encouraged people to play video games, and showcased live experiments – the more creative and engaging, the better!
As well as the opportunity to showcase your research, your display will be judged by an experienced panel, with the top 3 receiving a prize!
See the PhD Spotlight page for criteria & further details. Application deadline 23:59 GMT Sunday 12th November
Finalists will be notified on 22nd November, and you’ll need to be available all day on Wednesday 10th January 2024 for the final. We can offer a small budget for props.
Please email bric@york.ac.uk with any questions, and we look forward to seeing your applications!
