SofTMech Training Programme

The SofTMech training committee and the wider SofTMech leadership organise a series of training events for our PhD students and PDRAs.  These events are also open to members of the other EPSRC Maths-in-Healthcare centres and our SofTMech partner Universities. Events will run in a hybrid format to allow online participation.

These events take one of two forms: 

Large Scale Events: include conferences and workshops, and spanning from a half day to several days. Previous/upcoming large scale events include: 

Small scale (informal) training events: Previous/upcoming small scale events include:  

  • Preparing an effective poster presentation (May 22) 
  • Presenting with confidence (Oct 22) 
  • Effective figures for scientific papers (Dec 22) 
     

Attending an academic conference and networking

Attending an academic conference and networking: 24.03.22

Our first informal training event discussed academic conferences, covering:

  • what actually happens at an academic conference?
  • what can I hope to get out it?
  • how do I network effectively?

The event also included a practical exercise on preparing an elevator pitch for networking with senior academics.

A recording of the event can be accessed from the link on the right hand side of the screen.
