Event details will be updated as they are confirmed.
Research Talks
Delegates will give 15 minute talks presenting some aspect of their PhD research (as outlined by their registration abstract) followed by 5 minutes of audience questions. Don't worry if you've only just started your PhD and don't have any results yet, delegates are welcome to present the background to their PhD and their research goals.
Prizes
Best Talk (AllGenetics-EMPSEB Award 2013 for Best Talk) The delegate judged to give the overall talk will receive free use of a holiday cottage in Ortigueira, Spain for 6 people and an invitation to talk at one of the University of Coruna's "Infuscience" events (example). This fantastic prize is courtesy of the lovely people at AllGenetics and includes pick up from the airport and information on how best to make use of your time there. The prize does not include flights, and the cottage cannot be used in the typical holiday period (exact allowed period of use to be confirmed).
