New Connections

The ‘New Connections’ scheme is for early career researchers who have completed their PhDs and now lack supervisory support, but are not yet in secure, salaried positions within academia. It encourages ECRs to broker a fresh relationship with an Institution and provides travel bursaries to enable them to present their research to a new audience.

Postgraduate Research Poster Showcase

Every year, the BAFTSS Executive Committee invites postgraduate members to showcase their doctoral research during the BAFTSS Conference. A display of research posters is then hosted on the BAFTSS website.

​A prize of £150 is offered to the designer whose research poster is considered to be most successful by an online ballot of conference delegates.
