PDN Symposium

The annual PDN Symposium is back for 2024 on Friday 19^th April!

All 1st year PhD students and MPhil Research students will be giving a short talk in the Symposium, and it is a great opportunity to hear about all the amazing work going on in the department.

There will be a poster exhibition held during the conference with generous prizes, and anyone is able to present a poster. All career stages are encouraged to submit an abstract. 

The deadline to submit an abstract for consideration is February 15th.

Please note that poster boards will be 1 metre (w) by 2 metres (h). The optimum size for posters is A0 portrait (i.e. 841mm (w) x 1189mm (h)). Please fill out the form below to submit your abstract.

We will also be running an image competition and encourage you to submit any image you feel captures your research at Cambridge. The winner will be announced at the end of the event. The deadline for entries is 31^st March. For more information and to enter, please see the form below:
