Stay in the know with the Bioengineering Shared Calendar

Keeping track of key departmental events just got a lot easier!

Bioengineering has launched a new shared calendar as a go-to planning resource for staff to stay informed and improve coordination across the department. The live calendar has seven categories you can filter to find the events that matter to you:

  • 🎟️ Department Events, including Department Seminars, the Annual Bioengineering Lecture, staff and student socials, Away Days, and more.
  • 🏫 Academic Staff Meetings: the monthly meeting specifically for academic staff.
  • 👥 Professional & Technical Staff Meetings: dedicated professional and technical staff meetings.
  • 👩🏻‍🏫 Teaching-Related: events related to teaching activities or exams
  • 📅 Ad Hoc Meetings: one-off departmental meetings.
  • 🚀 Admissions & Outreach, including Open days, applicant visits, outreach activities and more.
  • ℹ️ Imperial College Events: University-wide events relevant to Bioengineering staff.

You can find the link to the calendar and instructions on how to add it to your Outlook account on our Information for Staff pages.

The calendar won’t send reminders, but it’s a great way to avoid scheduling conflicts and stay updated.

If you want an event included on the calendar, please email Kemi. However, as this is a high-level official calendar that we’re trying to keep streamlined, not every event will make the cut!


Join the Fostering Connections project

Imperial Experience is the university’s strategy to deliver a holistic student experience. As part of this, an investigative report highlighted the important role of community building initiatives to support diverse and inclusive student engagement and enhance the student experience.

Research into initiatives to support community building and the international student experience at other UK Higher Education institutions uncovered several initiatives to encourage connections within a diverse student body.

You will have the opportunity to gain experience working in student experience, community building, and communications, contribute to a unique initiative that celebrates the global campus community, and work with a diverse group of students and staff.

We welcome students from any department or Faculty, in any year of study, including international students. To express your interest, please complete the form on the StudentShapers webpage by Sunday 30 March 2025. If you have any questions or queries, do not hesitate to get in touch.
