What: Leverhulme Wildfires Spring Symposium 2025
When: Tues 27th and Wed 28th May 2025
Where: University of Reading, Meadow Suite, Park House. Online (MS Teams) for those who cannot attend in person (overseas, caring duties, health reasons etc).
Aim: Sharing and celebrating the Centre’s research, gaining feedback, fostering collaborations and new ideas, building community
Who: Open to all Centre members (in its broadest sense) – including academic staff, technical or PS staff, Early Career Researchers (including those with other sources of funding), Advisory Board members, and those affiliated or who have close collaboration with us who would like to attend.
Format: It will consist of a combination of flash talks by our Early Career Researchers, Panel Q&A, discussion/activities, posters and networking; competition for best talks.
Timings Approx. timings are Tues 27th: 10:30-18:00 and Wed 28th: 10:30-16:00, but this will be confirmed closer to the time (particularly end times). The later start time should allow for off peak (09:30) travel from London.
Social: Potentially, a dinner in Reading might be organised for those who wish to attend on the Tues evening, though this is to be confirmed
Staying in Reading: whilst it is very possible to do day trips for this event, and we have a later start time to accommodate this, you can choose to stay overnight in Reading using your own travel/consumables budget and claim this back on expenses (or book via your institution’s travel agent if that’s the requirement).
Agenda: Agenda will be shared closer to the event.
