The Images of Research Exhibition Launch event is now live for registration!
Join us to celebrate the launch of the Images of Research exhibition 2024 which takes place on 30th of April from 5-6pm in the Learning and Teaching Building. Register now to attend!
Images of Research is an annual competition open to academics, researchers and PhD students conducting research at the University of Strathclyde. Entrants are challenged to create an image and a short piece of text representing their research, with shortlisted entries going on to form a touring exhibition that takes in public venues and events across Scotland.
This year’s competition has the theme of Exploring the Unseen, and aims to highlight the hidden, often overlooked aspects of research. Whether through the lens of a microscope, data visualization, or artistic interpretation, this exhibition of images shares a glimpse into the unseen world behind research and innovation, and demonstrate the real-world impact being created at the University of Strathclyde.
The competition is also comprised of five categories, one of which is a special category in honour of Strathclyde's Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years since the Royal Charter was signed.
This year's categories are:
- Capturing Collaboration - showcasing the transformative power of collaboration and partnership working within the realms of research, knowledge exchange and innovation.
- Preserving Our Planet - showcasing research focused on lessening the impact of human activities on the environment.
- Societal Spark - Igniting change through innovation. This category centres on showcasing how research and innovation can bring about positive, real-world impact and tackle societal challenges.
- The Human Element - shining a spotlight on research in the health, care and wellbeing space exploring the diversity of work in this area. Submissions can also focus on innovative responses to global health challenges.
- Diamond Jubilee - Exploring the Unseen - this open category will capture the unseen and often-overlooked behind the scenes aspects of research across the last 6 decades and could include historical and current images.
This year we are delighted to welcome the University's Principal, Professor Sir Jim McDonald to launch the exhibition and announce the category winners who will receive a prize from our sponsor Jessops. Come along on Tuesday the 30th of April and gain an opportunity to understand more about the range of research and knowledge exchange taking place at the University and identify opportunities for collaboration.
