Research as Art

What is Research as Art?

Research as Art is a competition which provides a platform for students, researchers and university staff to convey the importance of their research.

For researchers used to describing their work in academic papers, distilling their research down to one picture and a 150-word description can present a challenge.

However, Research as Art is less about the stunning picture, and more about the story. It's about what goes on behind the research; what it means to be a researcher.

Why enter?

Throughout the years, Research as Art has achieved a reach of over 50 million people worldwide through press coverage of the project. Research as Art has also exhibited across the UK including within the Royal Institution in London, as well internationally such as in the University of Texas Austin and University of Texas Houston. The  images submitted to the competition are also used across the University, for example on the University website.

When does it open?

The Research as Art 2019 competition is now closed. Keep an eye out for the announcement of this year's winners and the date of next year's competition.
