Programme
Please find the final programme for the conference below. A 42-page abstract booklet including the programme can be downloaded here!
Some notes about the programme:
-
Flash talks: Due to the large number of submissions this year we decided to have both normal and flash talks. The latter are exciting 3min-long talks meant for researchers to show off their latest findings, methods, or ideas.
-
Poster outreach session: During the first day we have organised an outreach event and a couple school classes will attend the plenary and then during the coffee break have a chance to mingle with you scientists and visit and score the posters.
-
Networking event: The first lunch break is specifically dedicated to connecting conference attendees with each other and giving everyone a chance to meet new people. We specifically encourage more senior researchers to sign up, too, please! People will be split into groups and provided with suggestions for where to find food nearby the conference venue, but you might be lucky and have a local in your group, who can guide you to their favourite food place.”
-
Poster sessions: There will be two poster sessions at the end of the first day with a total of 50 posters to enjoy during which free wine and other drinks will be provided, sponsored by Heliot Europe, Lotek, TechnoSmart, and Vectronic Aerospace
-
LGBTQ event: During the lunch of the second day there will also be an LGBTQ event that is open for everyone to attend. From Kirsty Graham: "Come join the LGBTQIA+ (and allies) meetup! We’ve held a couple of these virtually over the last two years, and they are a wonderful way to meet other members of our community. We’ll start with some short introductions from LGBT+ members to break the ice and get to know one another more. It’s a fun social event with lots of time to chat and catch up."
