The SIDur Exec are excited to announce that the next SIDur PGR Symposium will be held at 10:30-16:30 on Friday, October 11th 2024 in MCS1022 (VisLab) in the Department of Computer Science.

The SIDur PGR Symposium is a half-day research seminar for PGR students across Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering whose work includes any aspect of pure, applied or industrial mathematics suitable for a general PGR audience. The event includes free coffee & lunch and is a great opportunity to practise presenting your research to a friendly audience of interested PGR students.

Sign up here to speak at the Symposium.

Why speak at the SIDur PGR Symposium?

  • You’ve got some interesting research to share and we want to hear about it!
  • You’ll get to meet other like-minded PhD students!
  • Did we mention that lunch & coffee are provided?
  • It’s a chance to practise your speaking skills in front of a friendly audience!

So if you’re interested in talking about your research to a friendly audience of like-minded PhD students (of course you are!) then register here to give a 15-minute talk.

We aim to make our events as inclusive and representative as possible and encourage speakers from all backgrounds to apply. If you are a member of a minority group we hope you will consider speaking at this event.
