The 2015 JBCA Symposium will take place at the Barnes Wallis building in the northern campus on Tuesday 3rd November 2015.

The Symposium is a day-long event comprising a series of brief talks covering the wide range of research carried out at JBCA. It is a great opportunity to give a good introduction for recent arrivals, to update people within JBCA about your recent results, and to identify possibilities for collaboration. Recent symposia have included the 2014, 2013, 2012, 2010 and 2008 ones.

We will have a selection of 15-minute overview talks about JBCA, each JBCA group, outreach, and the Observatory. All staff members, postdocs and PhD students (2nd year and above) will have 1 minute each to present 1 slide. Talks will be in a random order - everyone should attend the whole of the event in order to avoid being embarrassed if you're not there when your name is called out!

This year's symposium is being organized by Megan Argo, Adam Avison, Stefano Camera, Mike Peel, Hayden Rampadarath.
