DTA Images of Research 2021
DTA Images of Research 2021 – Winners and Runners Up
This year we challenged all DTA PhD students to submit an image with a short blurb that represents their research project or topic area for our annual Images of Research competition. The winners and runners up were announced at the closing session of the DTA Summer School.
The panel for the Judges’ Award was made up of DTA National Director Tara Dean, UA CEO Vanessa Wilson, as well as Directors and Deputy Directors of DTA programmes. The People’s Choice winners were selected by DTA researchers, supervisors and members of the DTA Training and Management Groups.
All entries can be viewed on this Padlet. You can also read all about last year’s competition here.
