Your Research Note will be circulated to both the students and academics in your group in advance of the Roundtable Workshop.
It should explain your research in a clear and succinct manner – remember, not everyone at your table will know your specific area. The following guidelines may help you to structure your Research Note. You will also find a pre-formatted template document on the following pages which you should use for your submission. Please note the word limits and do not exceed the 5-page limit (excluding references).
