Online Faculty Awards Symposium

Although we can’t have the in-person meeting this year, we are running the Faculty Awards Symposium online. The talks will be broadcast on our YouTube channel on Wednesday 1 July 17:00-18:30 GMT.  They run at 20 minutes each, followed by 10 minutes of live Q&A. Although talks will be recorded, this is your unique chance to meet and live-chat with our prize winners online! Please join us in watching the three talks from the award winners and chat and talk to the speakers using the YouTube comments and follow along on twitter with #SMBE2020Faculty.
