EastBio Symposium 2026: Research in an Evolving World

The 2026 Symposium will provide an opportunity for EastBio students to share their research through poster presentations and short talks. We hope to get a sense of that research taking place in the EastBio community, and understand how it crosses disciplinary boundaries and seeks to address the shifting priorities and challenges of our world.

About the EastBio Symposia

A key feature of the EastBio Skills Training, the EastBio Symposium, held every summer in one of the partner universities, is student-led and the focus alternates between research, and research impact on society, policy and industry.

The EastBio Symposia provide a great opportunity for students to meet fellow students, supervisors, the members of our Management Group and Advisory team and invited speakers, discuss their research and develop additional transferable skills.

The programme, developed with the help of student representatives from the second and first year of their PhD studies, combines talks given by guest speakers, student presentations, and interactive workshops to develop and consolidate student transferable and public engagement skills.
