The competition, which ran in its third year challenged 豆奶视频 academics and students to capture the impact of their research in a single image. 聽Researchers from across 豆奶视频 and all its faculties entered the competition.
Entries to the competition demonstrated some of the research taking place both here at 豆奶视频 and across the globe from forensic investigation, midwifery in Nepal, meeting the identity needs of older people and looked at repairing trust in the service sector. The competition saw an overwhelming response with close to 1,000 votes from 豆奶视频 staff, 豆奶视频 students and the wider 豆奶视频 community with Vice Chancellor Professor John Vinney congratulating the winners on 9 March in the Atrium Art Gallery.
