*Call for Papers: The 8th MMU Postgraduate Research Conference 2015* *'Innovation'* Thursday 5th November 2015 Manchester Metropolitan University This year's Manchester Metropolitan University Postgraduate Research Conference is focused on *Innovation*. Innovation in research promotes inspiring, life-enhancing, synergistic discoveries and solutions, and is also about forging cross-disciplinary connections, explorations and creative space for collaboration and exchange. The multidisciplinary conference exploring the concept of ‘innovation’ is inviting submissions open to all disciplines and practitioners including but not limited to business and law, education, health, psychology and social sciences, art and design, music and musicology, science and engineering, apparel, tourism management, food and nutrition, excercise and sport science and interdisciplinary studies. The conference welcomes a variety of presentation formats, including oral presentations, posters, performances and art installations. The conference is open to postgraduate researchers both internal and external to MMU and at all stages of their programme. The general aim is to provide an opportunity for students from all disciplines to present their work in a supportive environment where they can receive valuable feedback. We also want to celebrate our own postgraduate research and engage with the academic community across disciplines. There will be expert keynote sessions that are linked to the conference’s theme of ‘innovation’, alongside numerous openings in the day for researchers to expand their network. The conference also serves as a platform for finding new ideas and disseminating them to a wider audience. This exciting conference event will provide a supportive environment for postgraduate researchers where they can receive significant and useful feedback on their work. The closing date for submissions is *Friday, September 4th* *2015*.
