Over 40 students and researchers entered our 2022 poster competition, with the judges finding it difficult to split entrants in an extremely strong field.

Blitz talk

 

This year's poster competition attracted high-quality entries from graduate students and postdoctoral researchers across the Oxford BHF CRE network.  

During a pre-event heats round, 10 entrants were selected to give a four-minute blitz presentation of their poster.  During the lunchbreak, all competitors aslo had the opportunity to showcase their work to the competition judges and symposium attendees in the impressive surroundings of Oxford Town Hall.
