How to be a successful physicist

24 November 2010
Manchester Metropolitan University

Organised by the London and South East Branch and the Manchester and District Branch

The Institute of Physics strongly encourages continuous personal and professional development of its members. Hence the London and South East Branch together with Manchester and District Branch are organising a one day conference which will take place at the Manchester Metropolitan University on the 24th November 2010. The target audience are young scientists and final year PhD students. The aim of the conference is to give advice via presentations by prominent physicists who would share their visions and useful tips on victorious strategies in science. As a practical exercise, the participants will work in teams at the workshop to practice writing an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant application.

The number of participants is limited to 100 in total (no more than 10 per institution) on a first come - first served basis. The event is free and open to all grades of IOP members. Please book your place online.

Membership of the Institute of Physics is open to all those with an interest in Physics. For further information, please visit http://members.iop.org or email membership@iop.org.

All participants will receive conference certificates, with winning teams receiving certificates with merit and chocolates.
