Programme
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
An innovative conference programme featuring a research career-oriented lecture series, rapid-fire student talks, poster presentations and a panel discussion with world-class experts in synthetic chemistry. The conference will run over 2 days, starting from 12 noon until 7 pm on Thursday 25th July, and then 9 am until 5 pm on Friday 26th July. Please see the draft programme for indicative timings for speakers, presentations and breaks.
CONFIRMED SPEAKERS
We have a fantastic line-up of five internationally renowned speakers, who will tell the stories behind their world-leading research careers, and the journey to where they are today:
RAPID-FIRE TALKS
Selected student delegates will be presenting an overview of their poster in just 2 minutes. Each talk should serve only as a way to publicise a specific poster, and encourage delegates to come and find out more about each speaker’s work. A prize will be awarded for the best speaker!
Guidelines:
- Duration: strictly 2-minute long
- Slides: 1 slide only
- The talk should not be a rushed presentation of your entire poster
Recommended talk structure:
- Highlight the background of your project (why are you carrying out this particular project)
- Highlight the ‘grand idea' of your project (what you hope to achieve/have achieved)
- Highlight key results/conclusion
POSTER SESSION
All graduate student delegates are encouraged to submit an abstract of their work. Selected abstracts will be invited for poster presentations, to promote discussion and networking between young researchers. Prizes will be awarded for the best posters!
PANEL DISCUSSION
A round-table discussion with attending experts will be a valuable opportunity to debate and share ideas about current challenges in the field of synthetic chemistry.
