The University Creating Knowledge Conference took place on Monday 17 June 2019 at City Campus. It provided an opportunity for our researchers to present their work associated with the Creating Knowledge research and impact platforms
- Healthy, Independent Lives
- Thriving, Inclusive Communities
- Future Economies
There was ample opportunity to explore the potential internal and external collaborations offered by the platforms and how they can be realised. The conference also included a doctoral showcase where students presented their work at dedicated stands during the lunch and refreshment intervals.
