SDS PhD Research Poster Competition
The SDS PhD research poster competition invites students to visually communicate their research in an engaging and accessible way for a non-specialist audience.
Each digital poster highlights a key aspect of the student's research using clear, concise language and compelling visuals.
The competition showcases research focused on Scotland’s skills system. It offers an opportunity to share fresh thinking that can inform policy and practice.
