The aim of this conference is to bring together students in their second year of doctoral research from all fourteen EPSRC-funded doctoral training centres, giving them the opportunity to present their research (as a poster) and network with their peers from around the country. There will be short presentations by each DTC and talks from invited speakers.

 

 

 

 

The EPSRC considers attendance to be COMPULSORY for students in the second year of their PhD research project. As no conference was run last year, students in the third year of their PhD project may attend if they wish. Due to space and financial constraints there are only a limited number of places available for third year PhD students, so these will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Meals and accommodation will be provided.

 

If you wish to attend please register on the registration form. If you wish to have accommodation provided please tick the appropriate box. EPSRC will pay for your accommodation, but if you book a room and then do not use it your DTC will be charged the cost unless you have a life-and-death reason for not coming.

 

Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring a poster presentation of their research with them - you will be asked to provide a title and short description during registration. Posters should be A1 in size. Each DTC will also prepare a 10 minute presentation about their work, for example giving a short summary of key student research areas. However, how you use your time to advertise your DTC is up to you!
