In 2025, over 50 undergraduate students,representing 24 universities from across the UK exhibited their research. Attendees also heard from sponsoring MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke about the importance of research in parliament, Professor MariaIacullo-Bird (Pace University, NYC) about forging international collaboration and connection through research communities, and Professor Paul Taylor (BCURChair) to congratulate presenters and award certificates.
The poster exhibition was complemented with a workshop on getting your research heard in Parliament and tours of the House of Lords.Having inspired the development of the Posters in Brussels project, Posters in Parliament 2025 welcomed representatives from all the project’s participating institutions to the exhibition as a launch event.
Student Testimonials
Gleb Berloff, University of Warwick, Posters in Parliament Presenter 2025
“Whilst I'm currently hoping to get my results published, presenting it to my wonderful friend, to fellow researchers, to you, the organisers and, of course to MPs, was truly an amazing experience, in Parliament, no less! I enjoyed explaining 'irrelevant astrophysics' to everyone interested, and making it relevant to them!
The advice I would give to future presenters is do not be deterred, or feel your project is not relevant and won't be interesting to MPs. I was thinking all of that- I was not expecting to be selected, I felt my topic of research would be boring to everyone.Research what you're interested in, and you'd be surprised at what that can be applied to. With care, you'd be able to explain why an MP should care about something as horrific-sounding as 'quantum chromodynamics'!”
"Presenting at this event was so meaningful to me as someone interested in policy writing and implementation. Throughout the event it was clear how research can be integrated into policy, helping to facilitate greater and more impactful change at a national level. I was able to speak to MPs and their teams about my research and made connections for future work in the area of antimicrobial resistance. For anyone considering applying for this opportunity,I would recommend just going for it. Even if you are unsure or don’t think your research will “fit”, everything can be impactful when presented in the right way and to the right people. Your research can make a meaningful impact!"
Oliver Murray, Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick
"It was absolutely wonderful! It was such a valuable opportunity and I have never met such a large group of kind and thoughtful people.
My research is into safety in radiobiology and I have been inspired to email my local MP to see how we can develop my proposals into legislation which will help protect our population. I'm very excited to see what comes of it.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart."
Katie Hobbs, Oxford Brookes University
