Student Research Festival 2024
The fourth annual Student Research Festival took place on Thursday the 25th of April 2024, hosted in the Global Lounge.
This year the theme was 'Conflict & Resolution.' Presenters approached this theme with remarkable diversity, reflecting both the expansive scope of research fostered at the University of Bristol and the array of perspectives within our learning community. Have a look at some of Research Project titles here or visit our digital gallery.
The day also featured a compelling keynote address by Professor Annela Seddon, a Q&A session regarding research and the proliferation of AI with Dr Aisling Tierney, as well as a networking session where we were joined by representatives from Bristol’s Social Science Review, the Cabot Institute, and Bristol University Press.
