Welcome to the Íø±¬ÃÅ Research online poster exhibition. For more than 27 years the Íø±¬ÃÅ annual research conference has supported researchers at all levels in disseminating their work. Alongside this year’s online event, we wanted to give a flavour of the conference experience in terms of variety of research and types of presentation.
Poster presentations are an important aspect of our annual research conference and are often a researcher’s first experience of sharing their work at an event. Poster presentations can be a showcase for student work, though also include research undertaken at different levels of experience. All the content in this exhibition has been peer-reviewed for the Íø±¬ÃÅ Research Conference 2022: ‘Striving for equality, diversity and inclusion in research, practice and policy’, where submissions need to demonstrate quality and relevance to practice.
