Postgraduate Academic Research Conference (PARC) 2024 – call for abstracts

11 October 2023

Our Third Annual Postgraduate Academic Research Conference (PARC) will take place on Tuesday 11 June to Friday 14 June 2024. Previously, the ‘PGR Symposium’, we have re-branded to better reflect the fantastic research we have seen over the last three years.

The theme this year is ‘The Journey of a PGR Student’ with confirmed workshops on the value of developing and maintaining a project plan, unpacking imposter syndrome, publishing as a student, public engagement and much more. It will also, of course, proudly showcase the fantastic research taking place at the University of Chester at a Postgraduate level.

This event is open to all students and is free to attend. Look out for more information on how to register coming soon but in the meantime, make sure you save the date.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
