This event is a brilliant opportunity to meet research students from around the world, to present your work in a friendly and encouraging environment, and to engage with some of Lancaster’s fantastic academic staff. We are determined to maintain the informal and friendly atmosphere which is a hallmark of this event and at the end of the three half days you will have met all the Intellectual Party participants, you will have talked about your own research in a variety of different settings, you will have had the chance to learn about different aspects of academic life and you will have been part of a spectacular ‘grand finale’.

You can apply to talk about research on any topic in an open session or in one of the themed sessions. This year’s themes are:

• Things DIGITAL – any aspect of the digital world
• Things POLICY – any aspect of policy, governance, political process and law
• SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY– any aspect of research on science and technology
• PRACTICES of all kinds – organizational, health/care-related, environmental, anything..
• OPEN SESSIONS – you can submit an abstract on absolutely any topic you want.

There will also be a three-minute thesis competition with prizes for those who present their thesis or dissertation in the most convincing, interesting and effective way possible.

The £45 fee covers the costs of organizing and running the Intellectual Party, producing the Book of Abstracts, and providing prizes for the winners of the three-minute thesis competition.

If you want to take part in this event you need to submit an abstract of 250 words by 22^nd March 2021.
