Call for participation: Postgraduate Showcase 2023

Present a poster that clearly describes your research to a general audience, and stand a chance to win RM1,000!

It can be difficult to make people understand your research, its significance and impact, especially when it comes to complex ideas and technical concepts. So how do you translate your often complex and technical research into a wider picture with broader relevance? 

This is where our Postgraduate Showcase comes in. This is where you practise talking about your research in a clear, concise and compelling way to the general audience. This is where you maneuver to master the art of effectively disseminating your science to the public.

This year, the competition will be held as part of the Research and Knowledge Exchange Showcase. As the University launches its new Interdisciplinary Research Clusters, this is an exceptional and unique opportunity for you to put a spotlight on your research to research leaders and senior members of the University.

Entries are invited from all postgraduate research students (MRes, MPhil and doctoral students).
