How does your research make a difference?
Tuesday 30 June to Wednesday 1 July
We are very pleased to announce that we will run a 7th London Met Student and Staff Research Conference this year.
The theme is to be understood in a wide sense but may be related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The conference is organised by the Graduate School and Research and Postgraduate Office in collaboration with the PGR Student and Staff Liaison Forum. It will take place in-person on 30 June - 1 July 2026 on Holloway Campus.
The conference has a plenary format with opportunities for inter-School communication and networking. We invite proposals for three categories of presentations:
- Lightning talk: brief three-minute presentation on your research topic
- Presentation of student paper or staff paper, or a joint student-staff paper: 20-minute slot, with a 15 minute paper + 5 minutes discussion
- Student-led panel: 1 hour slot for a group of students to organise their own themed panel
We welcome submissions from all postgraduate research (PGR) students and staff in any area of research, including, of course, interdisciplinary research and cross-School collaborations. While submissions that relate to the conference title are particularly welcome, no area of research is excluded.
The deadline for submissions is 24 April, with notification of outcome by 31 May at the latest. Please note that we will only run one call for papers this year. The submissions will be reviewed in a supportive manner, using originality, significance and rigour as criteria.
If you would like to be involved in preparing and running the conference, or have any other queries, please contact researchconference@londonmet.ac.uk
We would like the conference to be a joyous event to celebrate our research and hope that you will respond to this call for papers as enthusiastically as students and staff did in the last six years.
