Annual Research Conference 2025
The world of today is witnessing unprecedented challenges at all levels; in order to face them, society needs a strong, sustainable and impactful knowledge base which responds to these challenges with innovative solutions designed to benefit all.
Innovation in bioscience, technology, engineering, and medicine brings tangible results, while advances in social sciences, humanities, and creative arts broaden our worldview, tackle negative attitudes, and bring the global community together in constructive collaboration.
This conference will showcase our research and explore new cross-disciplinary research directions. The event is designed to stimulate new research and collaborations, whilst offering an opportunity to learn about research projects and themes across the University, make new research connections, and consider inter-Institute research collaborations.
The conference will take place at our Bedford campus on Tuesday, 24th June 2025.
