About the Symposium
Can we predict which tumours will metastasise from a genetic sequence? How does the 3D structure of RNA help plants survive in cold climates? What technologies will help us build a quantum internet in the future? How can we possibly detect life far away from our solar system? Can we leverage computers to design molecules for future therapeutics? How can we engineer bespoke enzymes for sustainable chemical solutions?
To find out the answers to these questions and more, please join us for this series of short, interactive lectures from the Laureates and Finalists of the 2024 Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in the United Kingdom.
This series of nine short lectures presents cutting-edge discoveries in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Chemical Sciences. The lectures are intended for science enthusiasts of all ages—from students to adults—so everyone can get a sneak peek of how UK scientists are sparking important innovations that will transform our future world.
Program Highlights
Located at the historic RSA House in London, in-person attendees will be able to:
• Meet the award-winning scientists.
• Engage in extended conversations during lunch, session breaks, and a networking reception.
• Address your questions to the scientists in real-time, in person, during live Q&A sessions
• Re-watch the event online, on-demand, at a later date.
Not in London? Join the symposium virtually! Virtual-only attendees will have credentials to:
• Watch the live-streamed scientific sessions either online in real-time or on-demand on your own schedule.
• Submit questions online during live Q&A sessions.
Attendance is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
