Reuben Insights Festival 2024

The Reuben Insights Festival is an exciting event that brings the Reuben community together to share and celebrate the remarkable work of the College’s students and Fellows.

This year’s Insights Festival will be held at Reuben College on Saturday 29 June from 12pm.

We will begin with a round of short PechaKucha-style presentations that will give bite-sized insights into a range of research subjects and innovative ideas. Afterwards, guests will be invited to explore other creative exhibitions and posters over food and drinks.

Students and Fellows are encouraged to present, but this is not a requirement of attendance. Please come along to support your friends and colleagues too.

The Insights Festival provides a fantastic opportunity to practice your presentation and public engagement skills in a friendly environment – please save the date and consider registering to present your work. There are prizes to be won!

Applications to present your work will open soon.
