Why NEWTON Research & Innovation Week

The NEWTON Business Summit brought together an incredibly inspiring gathering of entrepreneurs and executives to share their experiences and ideas in business and innovation. Discussions focused on the latest trends in technology, marketing and business.

Students’ Poster Section

The Students’ Poster Section is a unique opportunity for NEWTON and other university students as young, creative and aspiring researchers to display the summary of their research, interests or projects. Participants showcase their academic endeavours through posters, displayed along NEWTON’s corridors during the whole Innovation Week. At the poster preparation stage, students are given guidance and can consult their work with the organisers, which develops their understanding of the approach to this kind of academic projects. 

By taking part in the poster conference students gain the opportunity:

  1. for academic engagement
  2. to network with other passionate young researchers
  3. to get the certificate of participation in the poster conference.
