Book of Pitches: UQAPS 2016 Pitching Research Competition Final

Faff (2015, 2016, 2017a, 2017b); Faff, Godfrey and Teng (2016); Maxwell (2017); Nguyen, et al. (2017); Salehudin (2017); Teng and Faff (2017) (amongst others) represents a rich landscape for the “pitching research” phenomenon. The current paper documents the pitches presented by 6 finalists of a “pitching research” competition held in November 2016, cosponsored by the UQ Association of Postgraduate Students (UQAPS) the UQ Business School. The UQAPS event was truly expansive – capturing the full spectrum of academic discipline areas in a comprehensive university setting: tourism; architecture; human movement; education; telehealth; bioinformatics. As such, this paper not only commemorates the 2016 event, but along with Faff (2017b) serves as a useful guiding resource for any novice researchers embarking on a new journey in one of these broad areas of scholarly endeavor.
