Summer Launch Events
A new summer of research projects is about to start and to officially launch the 2024 programme, we’re hosting the below events on Monday 1 July 2024.
Panel Discussion with CMS PhD Students and Early Career Researchers
Date & time: 4:30-5:30pm
Location: Meeting Room 2 (Basement, CMS)
The first event will be a panel session with PhD students and other early career researchers who have a sense for where you are in your mathematical career at the moment. We’ll have a discussion about what research is like, its joys, and its challenges. Coming along will give you a glimpse of life as a researcher both in the long run and in the 8 weeks that lie ahead of you.
Drinks Reception
Date & time: 5:30-7:00pm
Location: CMS Central Core
Come along to meet other students who will be undertaking projects this summer and find out what they are working on! Project supervisors are also invited.
What Comes Next? Life as a Mathematician
Date & time: 11:00am-12:00pm, Friday 19 July 2024
Location: Meeting Room 3 (Basement, CMS)
Chair: Po-Ling Loh, Professor in the Statistical Laboratory (DPMMS)
This event forms part of the Philippa Fawcett Internship programme for women and non-binary students in mathematics, though we warmly welcome any interested summer students who would like to attend.
We have invited four woman mathematicians to come and participate in a panel discussion about their career to date and experiences as women working in the field. Each member of the panel is currently at a different stage in their mathematical career: from current PhD student through to Professor! Each speaker will introduce themselves and briefly describe their career trajectory so far. Our chair will then put questions to the panel for discussion. The audience will also be invited (encouraged!) to ask your own questions.
