Faculty Undergraduate Summer Scholarships

The annual conference aims to showcase the work of Early Career Academics (ECA) in the Faculty and promote the establishment of collaborative and mentoring research schemes. ECAs from all Schools will give an oral presentation and poster(s) outlining their current work and future directions.

Further information is available in the FOREFRONT 2008: 8th Annual Conference of Early Career Academics information brochure.
