What can Conference Connection do for you?
Are you looking to go into postgraduate study? Are you considering joining an industry after you graduate? Are you not sure yet? Conference Connection can help you answer these questions. We want to give you opportunities to decide for yourself what you want to do in the future.
How does it work?
Students interested in the scheme must apply and interview for a place. Applicants are assessed by a panel of judges and, if successful, will be invited to join the scheme. This year, successful applicants will be attending the 5th International Possibility Studies Network Conference in Ireland.
Students will be expected to volunteer over the week, assisting with the set-up and running of conference events. We want to give students valuable hands-on experience; responsibilities may include working with artists, helping with IT, and providing assistance to conference attendees. Whilst we expect students to be enthusiastic volunteers, we are equally committed to providing them with opportunities to attend conference events, network, and take part in activities.
