Symposium format
- Event structure: at the core of the event there will be three cross-cutting, challenge-led sessions that bridge different disciplines. Please familiarise yourself with the structure by reading some of our previous event reports.
- Participants arrive: the evening before, with a welcome dinner and networking to start the event.
- Participants: are from all disciplines (i.e. not just for engineers) and sectors, and from all around the world.
- Event cost: There is no cost to participants for attending the event. We welcome a diverse group of participants and offer to cover your travel, accommodation and subsistence costs during the event. We actively encourage candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds. Please note: we do not cover usual salary costs.
