Every year the Student Research Launch Pad funds and mentors undergraduate students from the university and its college partners to present research at external conferences
Find out about the British Conference for Undergraduate Research (BCUR) and Posters in Parliament
"I wanted to present my work at BCUR because I’m going into postgraduate studies, so it made sense to attend a conference. Before the event I was excited but slightly nervous; presenting isn’t my thing. In hindsight, presenting my poster was fun and it was great to see the work that other Brookes students had done. My favourite part was the Gala Dinner as I talked to fellow Brookes students and students from other UK universities. It was an amazing experience, and if you get the opportunity to go you should."
(Dan Jackson, BSc Biological Sciences, 2023)

The Posters in Parliament event gives the opportunity for legislators and policy makers to see first-hand some of the innovative research taking place around the country. The exhibition is a great opportunity for students to share research and ideas with those from other universities across the UK. The modern world faces big challenges in a huge range of areas such as energy, health and sustainability but Posters in Parliament clearly demonstrates that we have a new generation of emerging researchers able to meet those challenges.
