The HECA Student Research Awards (HSRA) 2023 - The call for the HECA Research Student Awards (HSRA) is now open
The HECA Student Research Committee is inviting students at HECA member higher education institutions to submit digital posters that relate directly to their research study.
Background
The HSRAs was established in 2020 by the HECA Research Committee with the aim of showcasing the current student research to the wider academic community. The aim is to promote the research studies that are currently being undertaken in our colleges, and to support and encourage further study in these areas.
The posters will be assessed by a panel of research experts. The academic posters will be displayed on the HECA website in November and the winners will be announced at the HECA Research Conference on November 14th 2023.
Call Opens: 30th of June 2023. Deadline: Now extended from the 9th of October to the 16th of October 2023.
