UoB Annual Research Conference

This conference showcases our research and explores new cross-disciplinary research directions.

About this event

The world of today is witnessing unprecedented challenges at all levels and, in order to face them, society needs a strong, sustainable and impactful knowledge base which responds to these challenges with innovative solutions designed to benefit all.

Innovation in bioscience, technology, engineering, and medicine brings tangible results, while advances in social sciences, humanities, and creative arts broaden our worldview, tackle negative attitudes, and bring the global community together in constructive collaboration.
