The AV Services team supported the International Conference for Undergraduate Research (ICUR) from the 29th-30th September 2020.

This is one of the biggest technical challenges we face each year, with this year being even more unique, where we had to support the conference despite the COVID-19 global pandemic and with social distancing measures in place.

The conference was a success with the AV Services team providing technical support, planning and logistics during the conference.

We’ve recently installed a new Starleaf audio and video conferencing system in CMR 1.1. The new system offers significantly improved audio quality for larger group meetings for up to 16 participants. We can connect you to other spaces on campus and remote participants via telephone, Skype for Business, web browser or dedicated video conference room.

If you'd like to arrange a video or teleconference in CMR 1.1 or any of our other centrally supported spaces then please visit our web pages for further information about this service.

Our new Video Conferencing System Starleaf was used to connects the University of Warwick to the University of São Paulo in Brazil.
