Honours and HDR students will be asked to prepare a slide of their research and submit it to the Research Office and be available during the event to answers questions about their research, data, progress and any impediments and obstacles they have had to overcome.

Presentation information

All poster presentations were digital allowing students to have longer deadlines to collate data and prepare their slide. Students were asked to bring their slide on USB and present their research to smaller groups. In 2019 we trialled 75 minute sessions and more focussed/specialised sessions. UNSW Business School Honours students and HDR students were invited to apply to present an e-poster/ slide at the Student Research Fair. There were 4 streams and the winner of each stream receiving $500.

Participants & prizes

UNSW Business School HDR and Honours students were invited to present their research so far on one slide at the Student Research Fair.

UNSW Business School HDR students (both PhD and MPhil) were encouraged to submit a slide in the HDR category – first prize is also $500.

Testimonials

"Thanks for organizing such great event. It is helpful and meaningful. I am glad that I participated. Looking forward to more such events in the future."

Jie Chen
PhD student, Economics

“I loved the Student Research Fair, it was such a great experience. Winning the poster competition was a highlight and I love the big cheque! More importantly, being able to share my work with everyone else at the UNSW was such a rewarding experience. Thanks for organising the event!”

Wilson Hua
Honours student

“Just wanted to say well done on putting on a fantastic Student Research Fair. It was great to experience such a buzz in The Place.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate. I enjoyed the chance to talk about my research to interested students and academics. I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged people were, and I was impressed by the questions asked. And it was a wonderful opportunity to interact with academics from other Schools, who were generous to give up their time to support the Fair. It was also nice to get to see what other HDR students are working on through all the other posters, which looked fantastic - a great showcase of HDR and Honours research.

I know it is a huge effort to pull off an event like this so smoothly, so thanks for doing superb job and thanks also to the volunteers. I'll definitely recommend it to others in the future!”
