Hi Gwen, not sure if this is what you were thinking of, but UCL runs a 'Research images as art/ Art images as research' competition: http://www.grad.ucl.ac.uk/comp/2016-2017/research/ Our students also interview researchers as part of our flexible 'Meet the Researcher' activity, and some make videos: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/teaching-learning/sites/teaching-learning/files/meet_your_researcher.pdf Here's an example of how Meet the Researcher plays out in one department (there are more on the website): http://www.ucl.ac.uk/2034/review/integration-research-education/meet-your-researcher-linguistics I'd be interested to hear of other universities doing similar things.

I know that a few years ago someone ran a marvellous project in a research intensive university, having asked students to take pictures around university, to show what in their minds ‘research looked like’. It resulted in a fantastic set of pictures that taught the institution a lot about student perceptions. There was a related project whereby students were invited to interview their academic staff about their research and video them during the interview. The videos were then used to introduce students more widely to staff research and to introduce prospective students to the department they (might) be joining. Can anyone remind me where these projects took place? I just cannot seem to find them!
