Heritage GradConnect 2026 Sharing World Heritage
Dear graduates and soon to be graduates of BTU Heritage Studies programs,
In the lead up to the upcoming ‘Heritage GradConnect’ event on the 10.12.2026, we are putting a call out for presenters. You have put a lot of hard work into your thesis in the past year. This is a great achievement and something to be proud of, and as such, we would like to invite you to present your thesis research at the conference.
You will have the ability to present your research in one of two ways:
- Poster Presentation: Present an A1 academic poster explaining your thesis and its results/findings. This will be printed and on display throughout the course of the conference.
- Short Presentation: Present your research in a brief presentation of around 5-7 minutes in length, explaining your thesis and its results/findings.
We will provide guidelines for both presentation formats. These will be provided to you after a successful application, or on the Heritage GradConnect web page. We will also engage with you in a review process before GradConnect to ensure a successful presentation.
Both presentation formats will be available for in person and remote presenters, however you will only be able to present in one format. You can indicate your preferred presentation format in the application; if you are open to both formats, one will be allocated to you.
There are a limited number of spaces available for both presentation formats, and we would like to have an equitable representation of both in person and online presenters.
You can apply here.
Deadlines
The deadline for submitting the application form is Monday, 9 November 2026
After a successful application, the deadline for submitting your poster/presentation for review is 30 November 2026.
In the case that a deadline cannot be achieved or you have any questions, please reach out to the Heritage GradConnect team (studentcouncilwhs@gmail.com; subject line: "GradConnect").We will review for extension on a case by case basis.
We look forward to receiving your applications and supporting you in presenting your research!
Your Heritage GradConnect 2026 team
