LUBS Doctoral Conference 2024
- Date: Friday 21 June 2024
- Location: Cloth Hall Court, Quebec Street, Leeds
- Cost: Free of charge
The LUBS Doctoral Conference will bring together Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) from all departments providing them a platform to present excellent and frontier research.
The conference fosters stronger research connections among PGRs, Early Career Researchers (ECRs), supervisors, and colleagues in LUBS. The aim is to offer the opportunity to all PGRs to develop further their research presentation/communication skills, receive constructive feedback, and inspire researchers across centres and departments in LUBS. 1st Year students are encouraged to attend the conference to gain valuable experience and connect with PGRs and staff across the Faculty.
You can hear from current PGRs who have attended our previous conferences and how the experience has benefitted them:
The conference will include a mix of plenary, panel and breakout sessions. We anticipate the breakout sessions will follow a Pecha Kucha, short presentation, methodology to allow for as many colleagues to participate as possible and to provide plenty of space for discussion and dialogue.
LUBS has research strengths across many fields and disciplines, with theoretical, methodological and empirical depth that can offer insights and solutions to the most challenging and pressing of issues, be they corporate, policy-related or more societal.
All PGRs are invited to present their PhD research at the conference. 1st Year students are invited to give poster presentations. All types of research approach are welcomed, including theoretical, empirical, methodological, national-specific, international, and comparative research. Prizes are given at the awards ceremony for best talks (based on abstracts) and best poster.
