Deadline: Creating Knowledge Call for Contributions

The call for contributions for this year’s Creating Knowledge Conference deadline is 12.00pm on Wednesday 20 April 2022

Bringing together researchers from across Hallam, this year’s event will take place on 13-15 June and will be a hybrid event to accommodate those who wish to attend in-person, and those who want to join online.

This year’s programme will offer a range of sessions designed to showcase the excellence and diversity of research and innovation at Hallam, share research practice, and engender a supportive and inclusive research culture.

Professor Wayne Cranton, Dean of Research:

“After two years of online-only conferences, coming together in the newly refurbished Atrium for the Creating Knowledge Conference 2022 will be a fantastic opportunity to re-establish links, to make new connections, and to celebrate the rich landscape of research and innovation across the university. I look forward to catching up on all the excellent work going on, and to meeting new colleagues over the non-virtual coffee!”
