Defining Contributions: Inspiration Driving Original Research is a postgraduate conference at Nottingham Trent University, which is part of the Research Practice Course (RPC) in which students engage with research methods, theories and philosophies alongside their individual PhD research. This conference is organised by the third year students, papers will be given by the second year students, and posters will be presented by the first year students. This conference will also include a guest speaker and is open for attendees from across the University.
Publishing articles and presenting conference papers is an important component of any PhD programme. In view of this, the aim of this conference is to provide students with the opportunity to present a piece of useful material linked to their research in front of an audience within the friendly framework of the University, before embarking on the wider world of national and international conferences and publishing. This conference encourages new multi-disciplinary papers about the originality, motivations, inspirations and contributions of students research.
