Conference programme
Our first invited keynote speaker, Paul Shearing from UCL, with a focus on the importance of collaboration in science.
A talk from Robert Weatherup of the University of Oxford, giving an overview of the facilities available to ECRs through the Royce Institute and how to access them.
ECRs will give 15 minute overviews of their research with the Faraday Insitution, followed by an interactive discussion panel with the audience.
Six different training and development courses are offered across the six breakout rooms. You will be able to choose your preference at registration. More information about the workshops is available through the accompanying page.
A talk from our third invited keynote speaker, Serena Cussen from the University of Sheffield, with a particular focus on the journey through her science career so far.
Our fourth invited keynote speaker, Serena Gallanti of Jaguar Land Rover, giving you insights into industrial research.
Split across six breakout rooms, an opportunity for our ECRs to communicate their research to their colleagues.
ECRs will be invited to ask questions to our career development panel.
Poster Presenters
In addition, any UK-based researcher identifying as an early career researcher (ECR) and working in the field of energy storage (whether as part of a Faraday Institution project, or not) has the chance to present a poster at the conference, the full list of posters is available here.
