Each year all students and staff in MAS CDT go away for a retreat. The students all have an opportunity to present their projects and posters on their work. The rest of the time is taken up with talks, group work and team building activities and not to be forgotten, the annual boat race.

From 2015 to 2017 the conferences have been run alongside the MOAC DTC annual conference. You can see details and photos here:
