Greenwich Research & Enterprise Awards & Celebration Day 2021

TLDRoffon

The life changing research underway at the University of Greenwich is celebrated at the annual Research and Enterprise Awards and Celebration Day. This is a great opportunity to learn more about GRE, RETI, and its staff, and how (alongside other GRE initiatives) it aims to help shape the University’s Research and Enterprise agenda over the coming years.

GRE Awards

The Awards and Celebration Day incorporates the postgraduate research (PGR) student poster competition and the Early Career researcher (ECR) Awards and the event will include presentations of current research and celebrate the research endeavours of our PGR and ECR community.


At the event colleagues from across the university present aspects of their research, with short presentations from both early career and established researchers and the winners of the 3-minute-thesis competition.

PGR Poster Compeition

Each faculty ran a heat of the PGR poster competition and the shortlisted posters were judged by an independent panel.

All finalists will be issued with a certificate for inclusion in their PGRDP portfolio, and winners will be awarded £500 towards research-related training and activities.
