We would like to announce you that the registration and the abstract submission for the OED Symposium 2024: "Empowering Research for Community Impact" are now open.

The SEB's OED symposium will be taking place from 10th-11th September 2024 at Huxley Building, Imperial College London.

Throughout this event, we'll explore the theme of "Empowering Research for Community Impact" from multiple angles. This includes fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration at an institutional level, engaging with local communities around university campuses, strengthening the connection between academia and the general public, and exploring the diverse perspectives of indigenous and global communities.

The primary focus is to bridge the gap between research and the community, support research impact, and empower researchers and the public, showcasing how this impact can be facilitated by the researchers.
