Our 2018 Competition

Our inaugural competition in 2018 was kindly supported by The Stirling Fund. We shortlisted nine images across each of the University’s three research themes: Global Security and Resilience; Cultures, Communities and Society; and Living Well. The shortlisted images tell the powerful story of research at Stirling and demonstrate the importance of our research to contemporary, global society.

Our shortlisted images went out for a public vote and we were overwhelmed by the response, generating over 6,000 votes cast.
