An appeal is going out to regional business leaders and professionals to act as judges at an event aimed at showcasing the best of postgraduate student research at the University of Leicester.

The University, ranked in the top 10 for research impact in England, is planning to stage a festival demonstrating exciting and innovative postgraduate research to businesses and members of the public.

The Festival of Postgraduate Research on 25 June introduces employers to the next generation of innovators and cutting-edge researchers, and gives postgraduate researchers the opportunity to explain the real world implications of their research to a wide ranging audience.

The University is seeking regional professionals and business representatives to act as judges at the Festival. Judges will be required to assess the poster presentations given by researchers from disciplines across the University including the biological sciences, business, science, engineering, education, social science and the arts.
