There’s still time to book your place for the BU Research Conference, which takes place next Wednesday (14 June) in the Fusion Building.
The theme for this year’s conference is embracing failure, looking at how we can overcome and learn from the moments that don’t go to plan.
Speakers include BU Honorary Doctorate recipient Dr Jan Peters MBE, Professors Ann Hemingway and Sam Goodman, and Robert Seaborne from Inside Academia. You’ll also have chance to take part in practical workshops covering topics including building resilience, repurposing funding applications, and improving writing practices.
Lunch and refreshments are provided, and you’ll be able to create your own ‘failure cake’ with members of the Centre for Science, Health and Data Communication Research.
Following the conference, a drinks reception will provide the opportunity to network and share your experiences over a beverage or two.
We’re hoping it will be an inspiring and informative day, and we’d love to see you there.
