RESEARCH IN FOCUS

Due to COVID-19 the annual PhD Prize was changed to a digital format and opened up to include students currently completing their doctorate. The Research in Focus Award asked entrants to create a video presentation using the PechaKucha format: a talk utilising 20 slides each shown for a duration of no more than 20 seconds.  PechaKucha, meaning ‘chit chat’ in Japanese allows entrants to rehearse in advance while encouraging a more conversational style of speaking.

The Research in Focus Award is generously sponsored by Taylor & Francis.
