Statement on the novel coronavirus/COVID-19
Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic we have made the difficult decision to postpone all of our Workshops until the end of July. This is in response to delegate welfare concerns regarding safety, travel restrictions and quarantines.
We hope to be running our scheduled events from September onwards. We will keep our pages up to date with the latest information.
Should you have any concerns or questions, please contact the Events Team
About our Workshops
The Workshops provide leading experts and early-career researchers from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds with a stimulating environment for the cross-fertilisation of interdisciplinary ideas. The programmes are carefully developed and are intended to champion the novel techniques and innovations that will underpin important scientific advances.
