EVENTS
Building Careers and Skills in Science and Technology for National and Global Challenges
- November 8, 2024 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM
- The Exchange, University of Birmingham, and online
This event is open to all but designed for early- to mid-career professionals whose roles in some way involve science, technology, innnovation and research, and drawn from the civil and public sectors; from industry; and from the wider research community. During the course of the day there will be plenary sessions, breakout discussions and plenty of networking opportunities.
A report of the Conference will be prepared - contributions you make during the different sessions may be quoted and referred to (suitably anonymised) as part of the conference write up.
There are five break out sessions, themed around the five missions of the new government (Growth; Clean Energy Superpower; NHS fit for the future; Crime and Justice; Break down barriers to opportunity). We are looking for 3 minute lightning talks from up to 3 individuals for each of these breakout sessions. When you register, you will be asked which session you are most interested in attending, also whether you would like to give one of these talks. We will follow up with those who wish to make one of these talks to advise how to apply.
The final agenda is still be developed and the latest version is available by clicking the link above.
The event is being held in the University of Birmingham, and we are incredibly grateful for their support. The plenary sessions will also be available online as a Zoom webinar. Please click the buttons above the image to register to attend either in person in Birmingham or online via Zoom.
