Picturing Research at Grenfell Campus
- A Research Photo Competition for Research Week 2023
- Open to Grenfell Campus students, faculty, and staff.
- Deadline for submissions is November 10
We use photography as an integral part of our research and have found it to be particularly effective in communicating our results to a broad audience in an accessible manner. We are excited to organize and host this opportunity to see how our colleagues and students “picture” their scholarly work through the lens of a camera. Thank you for considering this invitation to share and promote your research.
