Festival of Research

Every summer the Sussex Researcher School hosts a festival to celebrate the amazing work of our postgraduate and early career researchers

Since 2018, the Festival of Doctoral Research - latterly SussexDocFest - has showcased the work of our postgraduate researchers (PGRs) at Sussex, and brought the community together to learn, share, and connect with others across the University. 

In the past few years the ECR Symposium has done the same for our postdoctoral community, giving early career researchers time and space to focus on their development and highlight their work.

As part of the Summer of Research, our festival events continue to shine a spotlight on PGR and ECR work, and highlight the crucial contributions these researchers make to the broader research environment. Check out this year's schedule on our main Celebrating Emerging Researchers page.

Look through highlights from our previous festivals below! These highlights include workshops, panels, PGR-led sessions and exciting one-off events, as well as the annual Sussex Three Minute Thesis final and our Research Poster and Research Image competitions.
