The annual Cabrini Research forum

About the event

The Cabrini Research Forum is an annual online poster event aimed at sharing and highlighting current research across a broad range of disciplines.

Designed to complement the Cabrini Research Sessions, it is an opportunity for researchers of all experience levels in any research area to showcase their incredible work and to learn from others.

It encourages the dissemination of research activities being undertaken directly at Cabrini or in collaboration with other organisations.

The Cabrini Research Forum is an annual event held every year in October. I-MED Radiology were the event sponsors in 2021.
