What is the WRE?
The Wolfson Research Event is a showcase for the research being carried out by our students on a daily basis. From across the sciences, social sciences, and arts, they share their hypotheses, findings and conclusions to a diverse audience comprising other students, fellows, staff and visitors.
The two-day event takes place every May with podium and poster presentations. Participants are challenged with communicating their research to a generic, academic audience.
To support them in developing these skills, they are invited to attend a series of workshops before the conference. These include workshops on abstract writing, public speaking, making impactful slides, and creating striking and effective posters.
The call for abstracts is now closed.
Our Team
A distinctive feature of the WRE is that it is oragnised by a student-led committee. Elected in October, they organise the submission of abstracts, anonymous peer-review, workshops and rehearsals, as well as promoting and organising the two-day event.
It is an excellent opportunity for students to develop academic and transferable skills in event planning and organisation, assisted by College staff to make the day run smoothly.

The WRE couldn't be a success without the presentations from our student community.
- Submitting an abstract for WRE 2024
This year's event takes place on 2 and 3 May 2024.
The call for abstracts has closed. Thank you to all who submitted abstracts and reviewed them.
- Abstract Writing Workshop
To support you in submitting an abstract, we hosted an Abstract Writing Workshop. This workshop provided guidance, tips, and best practices for crafting a compelling abstract - tailored to the WRE 2024. If you missed the workshop, you can catch up by watching the recording. We hope you will find it useful whether you are a seasoned researcher or a first-time presenter.
- Presentation Workshops
We held two further workshops: one on delivering a podium presentation and another on creating a poster in February 2024.
