Symposia overview
We're planning our next symposium, coming later this year. We will open expressions of interest for you to sign up once details are finalised. In the meantime, please see below for the usual symposium format and what to expect.
Symposium format
- Event structure: at the core of the event there will be three cross-cutting, challenge-led sessions that bridge different disciplines.
- Participants arrive: the evening before the event, with a welcome dinner and networking.
- Participants will be: from all disciplines (i.e. not just for engineers!) and sectors, and from all around the world.
- Event cost: There is no cost to participants for attending the event! We welcome a diverse group of participants and offer to cover your travel, accommodation and subsistence costs during the event. We can also cover the costs of most access needs and/or to replace any usual caring responsibilities you may have. If this will help you participate in the event, please contact the team to discuss your circumstances in confidence. Please note: we do not cover usual salary costs.
Post-event funding
Seed funding grants worth £20,000 over one year will be awarded to successful collaborations developed via the symposium.
