Monday, 22 May
Plenary Lecture | 09:50 - 10:20
Adriana Paluszny from Imperial College will deliver the plenary lecture on Diversity, Equality and Inclusiveness.
Adriana has created the Watson Forum, a series of (informal) interviews that seek to highlight contributions of women in the areas of numerical modelling, simulation, and programming in the context of STEM, in particular Maths, Physics, Earth Sciences and Engineering. The Watson Forum is aimed at motivating young ladies to embark in numerical and modelling topics, and to project STEM role models to the world! Many of the interviewees have hybrid careers that combine modelling with other activities, such as experimental and field work. The videos are collected, edited, and uploaded onto a YouTube channel.
DEI Workshop | 12:35 - 13:45
Later in the day, there will be a lunch-time workshop. This event will be open to all conference participants. Lunch will be provided.
