This event is a brilliant opportunity for research students to meet and collaborate with others from around the world, to discuss their work in a friendly and encouraging environment and to engage with ideas in a variety of formats.

Unlike a conventional conference, participants have the opportunity to share their research in different ways, discussing project descriptions and interacting in smaller groups as well.

These pictures capture something of the spirit of the event.

There will be another intellectual party in 2024 – see you then!
