Doctoral Researchers in arts and humanities subjects registered at any SGSAH member HEI, regardless of your funding source.

We will pay for materials directly required to showcase your research, which you can then use in other contexts. We have previously funded costs for posters, models, 3D maps, brochures, ‘zines, VR-related supplies, postcards and the costs of framing and other display materials. Purchase of IT/technical equipment (eg tablets, projectors, laptops, speakers) is not covered. SGSAH recognises the climate crisis and the need for profound changes in everyone's behaviour, so we would ask that you please consider the environmental impact of your proposal. 

The event will be held at the ARC, part of Glasgow University’s campus, in the West End of Glasgow.

For static displays we can provide a table plus 1-2 poster boards; see here for example images. We have put together a slideshow with examples of displaying research and ideas for display methods. Click to download: Researcher Showcase Display Ideas. And for some tips on displaying research, download: Research Showcase Top Tips. 

Performances can be proposed, but must last no longer than 5 minutes. Please indicate any equipment or spatial requirements and the time you expect to take to set up. 

Set-up time for exhibitors is from 8am on Wed 19th June. The Showcase event itself will run from 10am-5pm Wed 19^th & Thurs 20^th June, with a celebratory reception/launch event from 5pm-7pm on Thurs 20th June. You are not expected to invigilate the showcase all day on Wednesday or Thursday, however there is an expectation that you will attend the reception from 5-7pm on Thursday 20^th. 

In addition, exhibitors will be offered the opportunity to have their work featured on sgsahresearch.com; our digital showcase platform. This virtual exhibit will leave a legacy of your research showcase after the in-person event. We have a resident SGSAH Digital Curator who will support you to prepare your exhibit in a digitally accessible format. Click here to view the digital showcase from last year (2023). 

Up to six exhibitors will be selected by a panel comprised of PhD researchers on the SGSAH Doctoral Research Committee, and SGSAH KE & Communications team members. We are looking for:

• Clear presentation of research and potential and/or realised impact.
• Realistic and clearly costed proposals.
• Interesting ways of presenting arts and humanities research.
• Proposals that consider environmental impact in their design.
