Recent global challenges have made networking particularly difficult for students. Between the fallout from the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, and other ongoing events, students have fewer and fewer opportunities to attend conferences, build their networks, and make scientific connections. On Monday 26th, we would like to reig-nite our wonderful ECVP student community with a social event organised by students for students: a Perceptio-Nite!
What to expect:
Venue: OGV Taproom is an independent bar in the heart of the city centre which offers a fantastic range of locally produced craft beers (other options and non-alcoholic drinks are of course available!) and a great atmosphere with games and activities.
Who is invited: All student ECVPers – undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD-students.
How will it work: We are planning a networking activity designed for early career vision scientists. Participation is entirely voluntary—please come along even if organised networking sounds boring or terrifying. We’ll keep things very informal—there is no expectation that everyone will be doing the same thing.
We hope this evening will be a great opportunity to connect and kick off a fantastic conference experience. The event is free to attend, but since it will be held in a bar, you might want to purchase a drink.
