The Department of Environmental and Geographical Science (EGS) hosted its annual Postgraduate Colloquium on Friday, 17 October 2025, celebrating the innovative and diverse research being conducted by its postgraduate students.

Held across Studios 1, 3, and 5, the event brought together Honours, Master’s, and PhD students to present their research to peers, supervisors, and academic staff. The colloquium provided a dynamic platform for sharing ideas and fostering interdisciplinary discussion on some of the most pressing environmental and geographical challenges of our time.

“It was amazing to witness the diversity of research within our department and to celebrate it with my fellow Honours class,” said one Honours student who presented their work at the event.

This year’s colloquium concluded with the announcement of the best presentation awards, recognising outstanding research and communication skills.

• Honours category winner: Isla Wilson

• Masters & PhD category winner: Philip Samura

The day ended with a celebratory lunch, giving students and staff an opportunity to reflect on their achievements and connect beyond the presentation venues.

The EGS Department extends its congratulations to all participants and winners for their hard work and enthusiasm, and thanks the organising team for facilitating another successful colloquium. Events like these highlight the department’s commitment to fostering academic excellence, collaboration, and community among its postgraduate cohort.
