Research image competition

We are looking for researchers to submit a photograph or image relating to their research - this could be anything from an abstract image to a photograph of your research. The selected images will be used in the annual IAD brochure for Research Staff and Postgraduate Researchers, along with other promotional materials such as flyers and postcards. The images will be used in both printed paper copies and downloadable resources on the IAD website. The best photo/image will win a £60 voucher.
