  We are also receiving requests for longer talks, up to 15 minutes. Whilst we cannot guarantee that we will be able to host your talk due to time constraints, we’ll do our best to fit you in.

• Registrations for audience-only attendees will be open until October 10th, 2022. Please email us to register after this date; we’ll do our best to cater for you.
• These cut-off dates allow the organising committee to finalise the agenda, presentation schedule and printing, as well as catering for the conference. Please advise ASAP if you are no longer attending, or no longer wish to present.

Honours students are most welcome to apply to attend too, although priority will be given to PhD and CIE staff (postdocs, permanent staff, etc) first.
