RNCM PGR Conference 2025

Welcome to the 2025 RNCM Postgraduate Research Conference.

This year marks both the 15th anniversary of the Research Degree Programme at the RNCM (which started in September 2010), as well as Professor Jane Ginsborg’s last year at the RNCM as Programme Leader for Research Degrees.

Presented in this year’s PGR conference are not only a wealth of work-in-progress from current postgraduate researchers, but also talks and live performances from alumni of the programme from recent years – Dr Ellen Sargen (2024), this year’s keynote speaker – and Dr Rachel Johnson (2021), Dr Aled Smith (2018), Dr Naomi Norton (2016), Dr Nellinne Perera (2020), Dr Raluca Matei (2019), Dr Keith Phillips (2019), Dr Maria Stratigou (2021), and Dr Simon Callaghan (2020).

This year’s conference is chaired by current PGRs Dan Baczkowski and Matthew Holmes, as well as Dobromir Tsenov who curated a special PGR performance showcase at the end of the programme.
