Format

1. Expert-led training
Participants will leave the event with new skills and insights gained from a variety of targeted training sessions.
  • Specialists will give 30 minute presentations on funding, organising and promoting successful interdisciplinary projects in industry and academia.
  • A panel of invited experts will respond to questions submitted both prior to and during the conference, in order to give direct feedback to the delegates.
2. Idea Generation
Fundamental to the success of this event will be the exchange of existing ideas and the creation of new ones.
  • All participants will be required to present either a poster or a 'Lightning Talk' (a 4-minute presentation) proposing a new research direction which they would like contribution from those outside their own discipline.
  • There will be a number of informal oppurtunities for delegates to develop their ideas further with other interested participants.
3. Community Building
InterFace will provide a permanent web presence as we recognise that man of the best ideas will occur to participants after they have had time to digest the event itself. Social networking facilities will enable participants to maintain a personal profile of interests and contact details. These will carry over into future conferences in order to build a community of practitioners that provides support, advice and manpower to new collaborative ventures.
