This event was held at the University of Warwick for interested final year PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers and other early career academics. Please be advised that registration is now closed.
Selected postdoctoral attendees had the opportunity to enter the 'Picture My Research' flash talk competition. We challenged you to describe your research interests to a non-specific academic audience in three minutes or less, using a single image.
