LINE Symposium 2025
Our third LINE symposium will be held on the 9th June 2025 at the Francis Crick Institute in London.
This free one-day symposium is a celebration
of ECR-led infection research and open to all scientists from students to PIs.
Registration and abstract submission are now open!
Beyond ECR-talks selected from submitted abstracts, we will be joined by our invited speakers Prof. Amaya Bustinduy (LSHTM, London) and Dr. Joe Grove (CVR, University of Glasgow) as well as a careers panel joined by Dr. Henry Blest, Dr. Tina Chowdhury, Dr. Cat Gale, Dr. Peter Hill, Aimé Palomeras and Dr. Catrin Beetham who will be discussing their career paths within and outside of academia. We will also be hearing about the work of the grassroots initiative Carers in STEMM, which advocates for equitable and accessible support for those balancing caring and career.
We are looking forward to welcoming you all on the day.
Find the preliminary agenda for the day below.
Submission is open for oral and poster presentations. Deadline Friday 25th April 2025.
Registration and abstract submission requires the set up of a free account on Oxford Abstracts.
We aim to make this event accessible and equitable and have secured some funds to help with caring commitments and travel. Details can be found in the registration form.
The aim of our annual symposiums are to help early career researchers to: (i) foster knowledge and technical exchange, (ii) increase collaborations, (iii) present their work to a bigger, like-minded critical audience, (iv) expand networking opportunities, (v) advertise opportunities for career development, (vi) raise and discuss career related issues, and (vii) strive for a positive and inclusive research culture.
