There will be a strong focus on supporting early stage researchers in the form of a poster competition for the large and diverse group of post-graduate and post-doctoral climate researchers within UCL – cash prizes of up to £200. All researchers are strongly encouraged to display a poster of their current work as the poster sessions will form a substantial part of the meeting and be the basis for discussions between research groups; an abstract book and short research directory will be produced for the meeting. To submit a poster abstract (deadline 22 October) please register below and then further details will be sent to you.
