UCLPartners Infection, Immunology and Inflammation (III) Symposium 2017

 

Registration is now open for the annual UCLPartners Infection, Immunology and Inflammation Symposium on Tuesday 7 November 2017, 9am-6pm, at the UCL Institute of Education (UCL IoE).

This event, organised by UCLPartners, will bring together researchers from across UCL, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and beyond, enabling cross-disciplinary interaction and encouraging new collaborations between scientists and clinicians at the forefront of the III field.

Speakers from UCL, QMUL and our partner organisations will present their ground-breaking work and answer your questions. An internationally leading external speaker will give the keynote lecture of the Symposium.

There is no registration fee for this event, and food and drink will be provided free of charge. Due to space limitations timely registration and abstract submission is essential. Abstracts must be submitted using the Eventbrite registration link (below).

The deadline for submitting abstracts is 5pm on Thursday 28 September.

The abstract competition is open to early career researchers (ECRs), i.e. those in the early stages of their research career. We encourage you to use a self-defining definition of whether you identify as an ECR, but our general guidance is PhD candidates and post-doc researchers who do not have a permanent position. Note that there is no age limit here.

Submitted abstracts will be scored by the III Symposium Organising Committee. The top-scoring six applicants will be invited to present their research to the 300-strong Symposium audience. The other selected applicants will be invited to present a poster of their abstract to display during the day. The poster and presentation competition winners will then be announced and rewarded at the end of the Symposium, before the networking drinks reception.

We very much hope to welcome you on Tuesday 7 November for a fascinating day of research excellence and networking opportunities.
