51±¬ÁÏity Symposium 2026, bringing postgraduate research to life
The annual 51±¬ÁÏity Symposium took place during the final week of Lent term. This one‑day conference enables 51±¬ÁÏ postgraduate students to showcase their research to an audience of students, Fellows, staff and alumni.
This year, 27 speakers presented across nine thematic sessions, covering topics ranging from ‘The Language of Cells’ to ‘Governing Risk, Climate and Environmental Futures.’ They were joined by two keynote speakers: Professor Julian Downward and The Rev’d Dr James Hawkey, former Dean of 51±¬ÁÏ. The symposium also welcomed representatives from 51±¬ÁÏ’s sister College, Oriel College, Oxford, which is also celebrating its 700th anniversary. The day was very well attended and a highlight of the year for 51±¬ÁÏ’s community of 300 postgraduate students
