The new Faculty of Science will be holding a Research Conference for all Faculty of Science staff and postgraduate students on the 15th of July. This will be the first Faculty of Science event, bringing together Departments and Research Centres from ICS and ELS together with Statistics and CISAB to find out about the research being undertaken within the new Faculty. The aim of this conference is for us to get to know each other and learn about the diverse research undertaken within the Faculty.
The format of the day long conference will be a series of short invited talks in the morning (Mason Theatre) followed by a Poster session in the afternoon (E7B courtyard). The aim of the morning talks is to provide an overview of the major research areas of the Faculty of Science, with more details provided in the afternoon poster session where it is anticipated that student research posters representing the full range of Science Faculty research will be presented.
All staff and postgraduate students are encouraged to attend. The number of poster boards is limited to approximately 100 posters for a Faculty with approximately 500 postgraduate research students. Each research area will be invited to nominate a given number of student posters for presentation at the conference. Note that students do not need to produce a new poster specifically for this event. A poster which has already been presented at a conference (eg ICS LUCID posters) will be suitable for the Faculty Conference. A book of poster abstracts will be provided to all attendees
The 2008 research conference handbook is available here.
