The Student and Early Career Scientists Annual conference provides an excellent opportunity for Masters, Undergraduate and PhD students, as well as early career scientists, working in fields related to meteorology to present their work in a friendly environment.
There will be keynote speakers, poster sessions as well as sessions for oral presentations. Social events include icebreaker activities and a conference dinner, plus a photographic competition. The conference will provide you with the opportunity to get to know your fellow scientists with plenty of chances for discussion on current issues and to network and share your opinions with other delegates.
