This anniversary was held in the Birmingham medical school In the Wolfson common room and the Leonard Deacon lecture theatre.

The event started with registration and refreshments in the common room for 30 minutes, thereafter, the participated students’ posters were evaluated in an odd and even order. The even numbered posters had a morning evaluation and the odd numbered posters, such as my poster, had an afternoon evaluation. Seven students were selected in advance for an oral presentation through morning and afternoon sessions in the lecture theatre. The selection, as we told by the organizing committee, was made on the basis of research science and discipline. Also there was a nice break for the lunch. Many types of food were included with plenty of juice, tea and coffee drinks throughout the event time. I have obtained many benefits via several questions on my project either from PGR students or from the judging committee member. The questions brought my attention for different ideas, such as which sections that should be expanded or reduced during my write up stage or who can I modify my research aim to be more understandable. Other colleagues from the school of dentistry like Naveed, Cleo, Farha, and Nurul were shown a superb poster presentation in different interesting subjects and all of us were got a lot of fun and experiences from this event. Finally, Congratulations for students who got prizes for their excellent works.
