What is the Research Festival
Hosted by UCM in partnership with researchers on and off the Island, Research Vannin is taking a collaborative approach to promoting a vibrant and productive research community through the sharing of resources, events and networking opportunities. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration between researchers, on and off-Island; promote the reputation of Island-based research, and educate.
The Research Festival offers students, independent researchers and guests alike the opportunity to listen to presentations, participate in research workshops and network over coffee and lunch.
