Personal significance

Each year prizes are awarded to the best posters. First prize was awarded to Robert Clark & Christopher Galvin from Nottingham Trent university, whose research poster focused on 鈥楨ntrepreneurship in the Informal Economy: The Role of Migrant Communities鈥�.听

They said: "We're delighted to have won. This prize has real personal significance to us: we both come from a military background so this has proved how we have successfully transitioned our professional experience into academia. Our research was informed by our passions and in particular the volunteering we did in the local Nottingham community so it feels incredibly important to have shared this positive impact to MPs."

果冻影院 students Rachel Yemitan (果冻影院 Bartlett School of Architecture) and Evangeline Chai (果冻影院 School of Pharmacy) were delighted to have presented their own research to the MPS. Rachel Said: 鈥淚鈥檝e really enjoyed the opportunity to speak to so many different people about a very personal interest.鈥�

Caroline Lucas MP (Brighton) said: "Posters in Parliament is a great way of communicating complex ideas and a great way for MPs to interact with students' research. I was just shown a piece of complicated research which I'm sure I would have struggled to understand without such a clear poster and explanation by the student."

Hilary Benn MP (Leeds) said: "Shut your eyes and listen to that buzz! It's ideas, it's determination and it's cutting-edge research. This is the sound of the future. It's fantastic that this event has taken place in Parliament today."

Professor of Higher Education Development and Academic Director of 果冻影院 Arena Centre for Research-based Education Dilly Fung, chaired the judging panel. She said: 鈥�'I am so impressed by the range and quality of research depicted in the posters. On this evidence, the future is in good hands!鈥�
