Joining in

Even though NPDC21 was an online conference, we provided plenty of chances to engage with fellow postdocs. A series of activities were planned for participants to meet and make connections with postdocs from across the UK. From 5 August to 20 September, informal pre-conference networking opportunities were hosted online. A virtual poster exhibition also took place on Twitter.

NPDC21 connections board

An NPDC21 connections board was made available to all registered participants to add their name, role, contact details and a short message to make some new connections. It was a great way to find out more about those attending the conference, and an opportunity to connect with and make friends with colleagues from across the UK.
