Save event
The Faculty of Science and Engineering is proud to announce a two-day academic conference for postgraduate research students and early career researchers where we invite you to share your research, develop your skills and build your networks.
Join us at Sherwell Centre on Wednesday 12 June and Roland Levinsky Building on Thursday 13 June for poster and oral presentation sessions showcasing some of the fantastic research from the:
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
In addition, we have a variety of career development workshops, plus an exciting game about fish migration in the face of climate change, and an introduction to the robot operating system. More details below.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

For those who wish to share their research, please submit an abstract (200 words maximum) for a poster or oral presentation via the above link by Wednesday 15 May. Once your abstract has been accepted, you will be sent a link to register for the conference and workshops.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided. 
Please save the dates in your calendar!

Workshops

Workshop 1: DiadESLand – Research Gaming to Explore Alternate Management Scenarios for Migratory Fishes (15 person maximum)
Migratory amphihaline fish are threatened by climate change, with ecological and socio-economic consequences for local communities. This educational game explores alternative management scenarios, taking into account ecological and socio-economic aspects, as well as global impacts on the distribution of amphihaline migratory fish.
Workshop 2: The Robot Operating System (ROS) – Introduction and Demonstration (30 person maximum)
Almost every robot built in the last 15 years owes its success in part to the Robot Operating System. The technology underpinning it has wider value in research and industry. This workshop introduces ROS concepts, applications and interactive demonstrations using 'TurtleSim'.
Workshop 3: Journal Selection (30 person maximum)
Information to follow.
Workshop 4: How to Publish (30 person maximum)
Information to follow.
Workshop 5: Science Communication (30 person maximum)
Information to follow.
Workshop 6: Dealing with Stakeholders (30 person maximum)
How to engage with stakeholders in a large organisation to best deliver your research in a meaningful way. Presentation and Q&A.
Workshop 7: Effects of the Deyr Rains in East Africa and Global Security (30 person maximum)
Presentation and Q&A about the effects of the Deyr Rains in Somalia and how this has resulted in mass displacement and a rise in violent extremism, as well as a rise in other war crimes such as gender-based violence, and how the NGOs, host nation, embassies and international militaries worked together to prevent further instability.
