Are you a postgraduate student with an idea for a one-day conference?
The Centre for Audiovisual Research is seeking to facilitate Study Days organized by postgraduate students. The Centre will provide financial assistance and mentorship for Study Days related to any aspect of audiovisual research. Students will:
