Research Students' Symposium 2021/2022

The 2022 Computer Science PhD Symposium will be held from Wednesday 29th June to Friday 1st July.

The symposium exists to give all PhD. students in Computer Science at Manchester the chance to present their work to the Department. Second-year students and above will give short talks; first-year students will present posters.

It is a great opportunity---for both staff and students---to learn about some of the fascinating research being carried out in the Department, across all areas of the subject.

Location details

All talk sessions: Kilburn 1.4

Poster session: Kilburn Atlas 1/Staff and PG Common Room (Floor 1)
