Bursary competition

Every year the bioProcessUK Conference runs a popular Bursary Poster Competition, where approximately 25-30 high calibre postgraduate students and post doctoral researchers have an opportunity to display a poster showcasing their research in biological medicines and bioprocessing. 

A popular feature of the conference is the early career “poster flash” session where selected bursary winners will take to the stage with a short oral presentation.

The competition also provides students with a chance to build their network by engaging with industry professionals. 

Presenting a poster is beneficial to career and professional development of young researchers. 


Benefits of participating in the poster prize competition include:

  • Make connections – build networks and share information and research with academia and companies across the UK
  • Enhance professional development
  • Present research achievements to a wide audience
  • Advertise work to potential employers
  • Show-off creative ability and discuss ideas –  inspiration for new projects comes out of questions asked, and opportunities for new collaborations are often found.

The deadline for applications will open later on in the year.
