Activities /LIVE Student Presentation Prize

Each year the LIVE Centre gives undergraduate students the chance to win some funding to assist them with attending conferences and symposiums. Undergraduates are encouraged to write abstracts and posters to present at upcoming conferences and then submit them to the conference body for consideration. If successful, the LIVE Centre will then offer the students upto £250.00 towards their conference registration or travel fees.

The LIVE Centre funds three of these awards each year, one per term. Often there is more than one submission per term and the LIVE 'judging panel' must select who to award that terms funding to. It is important to highlight that these Student Presentation Prizes are all aimed at Undergraduates, funding for Undergrads is limited therefore giving LIVE the opportunity to try and fill this gap.

This year we would like to congratulate James Hassell (BVet Med 5, 2010/11), Jonathan Dixon (BVet Med 5 2010/11) and Sarah Allen (BVet Med 5, 2010/11 on winning one of this years 'LIVE Student Presentation Prizes'.
