Abstract

Welcome to the Book of Abstracts for the 2024 SPARC conference. Our conference this year was called “Celebrating your research and growing your networks”, with a focus theme of sustainability.

Sustainability is important for us all, sustaining the ecological and physical environments we depend on, but also to sustaining the economies and communities in which we live. For postgraduate researcher sustainability is also about managing work life balance and sustaining energy for and during the journey. The support, encouragement and constructive challenge peers provide each other is a truly invaluable part of sustaining and getting the most out of journey. There is no better place to see the value of the PGR community and peer support than at SPARC, where PGRs come together to share and celebrate each other’s research. SPARC is also a great networking opportunity. It’s a wonderful, exciting, energising event and this year we further extended our peer network, with PGRs from both Huddersfield University and Manchester Metropolitan coming to join us and share their work.

It’s fabulous to see that SPARC is growing, building on the huge value it offers the PGR community, and this was our biggest yet. We have received a tremendous contribution from our postgraduate research community; with 85 presenters, and 36 poster presentations, the conference showcases our extraordinarily vibrant, diverse PGR.

The abstracts contained here provide a taster of the diverse and impactful research in progress and contact details of authors are provided to enable you to make connections with people whose work interests you SPARC is part of a programme of personal and professional development opportunities offered to all postgraduate researchers at Salford.
