i □ f - A meet up organised for UoM Computer Science
Imago and The Innovation Factory are delighted to invite you to the first i □ f meetup:
Thursday, 2nd December
From 18:00-19:30
Alliance Business School (very limited spaces ) & onlineImago and The Innovation Factory are delighted to invite you to the first i □ f meetup on Thursday 2nd December. We will begin with a brief introduction to what Imago and The Innovation Factory do, how to get involved, but most importantly to enjoy two exciting software engineering and delivery talks discussing previous Imago work. The presentations will start with Miranda, Jang, and Karam, who will share the story of a challenging experience of forming and running a completely remote team, a not-entirely-technical client, and all other challenges of successfully delivering a software project. Sam and Nadine will tell us about the architectural and implementation monsters encountered during the build of a microservices-based graph database-based system. No matter if you are in the industry wondering what the wizards in the ivory tower do, if you are in academia trying to tame the industrial beast, or if you are still studying, this event is exactly for you! Tradition dictates that we throw in pizzas and drinks, so come to Alliance Business School on 2nd December at 1800 to enjoy the talks, meet the super talented students, and the Imago team. Imago is the University of Manchester’s student software company. We create beautiful and useful software for paying clients, using the skills and experience we’ve gained during our time at University. There are only 25 places available at the physical event...so register early. If you don't get a ticket to the physical event or if you cannot join us on the day, we are offering digital tickets so you can watch on Zoom from anywhere. Book your ticket now
Workshop: ProQuest TDM (Text & Data Mining) Studio Visualisation Tool
Workshop: ProQuest TDM (Text & Data Mining) Studio Visualisation Tool
Tuesday 14th December – 16:00
Are you interested in the possibilities of text and data mining?
Join us for an online workshop on Tuesday 14th December in which we will explore ProQuest’s TDM Studio Visualisation Tool.
The ProQuest TDM Studio Visualisation Tool can be used by researchers and students across all academic disciplines to quickly analyse massive volumes of data and spot trends and patterns. The Visualisation Tool dashboard is designed for users of all levels and doesn’t require any prior coding experience (unlike the TDM Studio Workbench Tool).
This workshop provides an excellent opportunity to explore this exciting new tool and to speak directly to staff from ProQuest and get answers to any questions you might have.
Please view the ProQuest TDM Studio Visualisation Tool promotional leaflet for more information.

2022 BFWG North West Travel Bursary Competition
Details of the annual competition for women graduate researchers for the 2022 Travel Bursary of £500. It is awarded by the British Federation of Women Graduates North West and is designed to help towards the costs of attending an international conference as part of the thesis research.
Partly due to unforeseen delays caused by this year’s Covid restrictions, we have extended the closing date of entry to Saturday 15 January 2022.
This is being done so that the competitors can type their papers and send them through the post, rather than send several attachments online at the last minute. Those will be disqualified as will any that do not have the written support mentioned in the instructions.
