Edinburgh Infectious Diseases Early Career Researcher Symposium After the success of the lightening talk session at our Annual Symposium in June, we are going to be hosting an online event specifically for Early Career Researchers on Thursday 28 October. Register to attend You can now reigster for the symposium on Eventbrite Attendee registration Programme We have an amazing schedule of speakers lined up for the symposium - they are all going to be presenting their work for just 3 minutes using 1 slide, so hold onto your hats!
