taking part is one of the rare opportunities to be genuinely creative through another medium in my work. Public engagement is a vital part of my research, so it's also helpful to produce something that can be used in engaging people in my programme of work.
How to get involved in Images of Research 2024
Taking part in Images of Research 2024 couldn't be simpler, and to help, we've developed five categories that reflect the University's strategic priorities and research themes:
- Digital – research that is creating positive digital futures.
- Health and Wellbeing – research that is addressing pressing health and wellbeing issues people are facing.
- Local – research that is working with people from Bath and North East Somerset and creating positive outcomes for them and their communities.
- Partnerships - research that is working in collaboration with people outside academia, including industry, policymakers, civil society and community-based organisations.
- Sustainability – research that is finding sustainable solutions to issues facing the planet and people.
Submissions must include an image (which could be a photograph, a drawing, a digital creation or an image from research), a title, a 150-word description and an alternative-text description of the image.
What's important to remember though is that we're looking for submissions that demonstrate why research happening at the University matters - the difference University research is making to society.
Eligibility
Images of Research 2024 is open to all staff from the Education and Research (including doctoral students) and Technical and Experimental job families we also welcome submissions from staff in the Management Specialist and Administration job family who support and input into research.
