We are very proud to be co-hosting the Oxbridge Varsity Science Symposium along with The Oxford and Cambridge Biological Societies, the Oxford and Cambridge Chemical Societies, the Oxford Physics Society, and the Pharmacological and Biomedical Societies. The event is a five-day symposium which will bring together the best in research from Oxbridge!
We would like to invite undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers at all stages of their careers, to present their work or academic interests to our communities as a 10-20 minute talk, followed by a brief Q&A session. We are very flexible regarding the lengths and topics of talks, and welcome talks from all areas of science, as well as interdisciplinary ones! The exact format and timing of sessions will be arranged with the speakers, based on topic areas and speaker availability. To take part, feel free to either contact any of the participating societies, email oxbridge@biosoc.co.uk or fill in this form: https://tinyurl.com/varsitysci to submit your ideas for a 10-20 minute talk! The sessions will most likely be presented in two ways – as a Zoom conference and as a YouTube livestream on the Oxbridge BioSoc channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/OxbridgeBioSoc), with questions being asked from both Zoom and the livestream.

In this difficult time, we believe that it is more important than ever for us to collaborate more closely as Oxbridge science societies, and to bring the exciting research conducted at the two universities and affiliated institutes closer to student communities and the wider world. We therefore hope that you will join us for this inaugural joint Oxbridge symposium, hopefully the first of many to come!
