Programme

Please see below the programme for the workshop across the 3 days of activity. You will find there will be 4 options for locations during parallel sessions on days 2 and 3 of the workshop.

Lunch is not included, and will not be available on site. Please see the Practical Information page for more.

The sessions regarding specific disciplines are colour coded.

Physical Science sessions are in blue, and Life Science sessions are in green.

All other sessions are for all disciplines and participants.
