UCL Graduate School Poster Competition 2006

8 - 9 March 2006, we ran a Research Poster Competition which offered graduate students an opportunity to meet, advertise and discuss the innovative research they are undertaking, thereby providing them with an opportunity to raise the profile of their research.

The exhibition attracted interest among academics and other graduate students. Posters were displayed in the North & South Cloisters.

Overall 199 students registered for this year's Poster Competition (Arts & Humanities, ,Laws, Social & Historical Sciences - 14, Built Environment, Engineering, MAPS - 81, Clinical Sciences - 77, Life Sciences - 27).

Thanks to all the students who entered.
