The programme is a chance to attend a variety of presentations, take part in direct discussions with speakers, meet fellow researchers across the three STEM colleges (CMH, EPS, and LES) and enjoy a hotel lunch. Speakers include those from fields such as scientific writing, software development, lab science, university professional services, and IP/ patent law.
