What is IN[SCI]TE?
- IN[SCI]TE is an interdisciplinary Science, Technology, and Engineering conference based Oxford University.
- IN[SCI]TE is run by undergrads, and the talks will be both delivered by and aimed at undergrads.
- IN[SCI]TE has now taken place twice in Oxford and once in Cambridge. Plans for next year will be revealed in the coming months.
What does IN[SCI]TE do?
- Broaden the scientific knowledge of the undergraduates outside of their field of study, which becomes narrower and narrower throughout university.
- Give undergraduates the opportunity to attend; and the opportunity and resources to give a talk at a scientific conference.
- Introduce undergraduate scientists to existing interdisciplinary research projects and give them ideas and inspiration to come up with ideas of their own.
- Inform undergraduates on possible career paths within the scientific and technological community - both in academia and industry.
What will the talks be like?
- Our student speakers are from all disciplines of science.
- They will talk about a project, internship, or piece of independent science research they've done.
- The presentation will be at a level which allows students from other disciplines to easily understand.
- Our speakers are given a presentation skills workshop by the careers service to ensure they are well equipped to give a talk.
