You’re invited to the Discover VIP Conference, Thurs 17 April
This conference aims to highlight and celebrate the award-winning Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) programme at the University of St Andrews. The aim of the conference is to create a space for curious staff and students to learn more about the programme and highlight the exciting research and collaborations that VIP facilitates.

We invite current VIP students and staff, but also warmly welcome all undergraduate students, academic and teaching staff, research supervisors and all those curious about VIP to attend.
A detailed programme of the day will be confirmed shortly. Registrations are also welcome from participants who can only attend a portion of the event.
A Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) is an ongoing research project led by an academic supervisor and made up of a team of students from any level of study (the ‘vertical’ aspect). The team of students can come from different subject areas with diverse backgrounds and skills across both arts and science. The VIP programme in St Andrews, established in 2020 with 5 projects, now represents 13 interdisciplinary projects with around 250+ enrolled students every year across the Arts, Humanities and Sciences. www.st-andrews.ac.uk/education/vip/
We will showcase research presentations and posters from VIP students based on their ongoing work. You can also network with and learn from current VIP students and staff about their VIP experience. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
