Unfortunately we have had to cancel this event. We may consider rescheduling it in 2026. Apologies for the inconvenience caused to those who registered and to the panellists.
The Event is designed to be an opportunity for students, early career researchers and industrial practitioners to hear from and interact with more experienced professionals including recent graduates as well as more senior leaders.
The Event will begin with a light lunch available from 14:00. Our speakers will then make their presentations with time for questions after each presentation concluding with a more general panel discussion around 17:00. Our speakers will include:
