Industrial Engagement Event 2018

The 2018 event was co-organised by the CDT in Cloud Computing for Big Data, Newcastle University.

Hosted at the University of Edinburgh's Informatics Forum on Tuesday, 10th of April, our engagement event connects PhD students and industry leaders with like interests to discover potential areas of collaboration, particularly via internships and industry projects.

The first part of this 4th annual engagement event will focus on student and industrial presentations, so as to inform both groups on each other’s research areas. This shall be followed by a lunch and poster session, during which industry partners can interact with individual students to further explore their work. 

The highly successful networking session is back for another round of one-on-ones. Student will sign up to visit industry stations in "speed networking" fashion. Industry reps and students will be able to discuss in more detail the opportunities for internships and projects, as outlined in the morning's presentations.  

Members of the CDT in PPar’s Industrial Advisory Board will break for a feedback meeting, which all industry representatives are welcome to attend. Industry representatives who prefer to continue discussing opportunities will have the option to remain in the one-to-one networking session.
