LIS FEST 2026
Come and join us for LIS FEST 2026!
Our end-of-year showcase and an important milestone: this is the final year of our founding cohorts, marking five years since LIS opened its doors, challenging what UK Higher Education can be.
Spend the day with us. See the work our students produce, tangible examples of projects, research, and ideas that span disciplines in ways many degrees don't allow, and meet the people behind them.
The afternoon will include a welcome, lightning introductions for graduating students and industry practitioners, and a programme of short project presentations.
It's open to anyone and everyone curious about what interdisciplinary education looks like in practice. This is what five years of LIS looks like. Come see where we're going and how you can be part of it.
