The Postgraduate Pedagogies Symposium is a one-day event taking place on 1 July 2026 hosted hybrid at LSE, aimed at new and continuing Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) with an interest in postgraduate pedagogies and teaching practice.
The symposium will feature a keynote presentation, a themed panel, and author presentations. Its main aims are to create a space for sharing practice, reflection, and research on postgraduate pedagogies, to connect GTAs with colleagues involved in pedagogical development, and to encourage cross-institutional dialogue. We will also be launching Volume 6 of Postgraduate Pedagogies during the symposium, and we warmly welcome attendees to join us for this special occasion.
If you are interested in attending or presenting your work, please register here to join us! More information regarding symposium themes and proposal guidelines can be found at the registration link.

Discover how to turn MedTech research into impact—expert talks, funding insights, and the launch of the MedTechONE Knowledge Base.
Bringing a MedTech idea from the lab to real-world impact can feel complex, fragmented, and hard to navigate—especially at an early career stage. Knowing what to do next, who to speak to, and what evidence matters can make all the difference. Kickstarting Your MedTech Venture is an afternoon event designed to support Imperial MedTech researchers—particularly Early-Career Researchers—who are interested in translation, commercialisation, or building impact from their research.
The event combines the official launch of the MedTechONE Knowledge Base with expert-led insights on business strategy, funding, IP, and regulation, alongside real-world perspectives from investors, entrepreneurs, and enterprise leaders. Attendees will gain practical guidance, discover key Imperial resources, and learn how to position their ideas to attract partners and funding. Whether you are exploring translation for the first time or actively considering your next steps, this session will provide clarity, connections, and tools to help you move forward with confidence.
Whether you’re an early-stage founder or simply have an interest in developing a medical device, this event is designed to inform, inspire, and connect.
Date: 13th May 2026
Time: 2:30 – 6:00pm

The world’s largest supercomputers are used almost exclusively to run applications which are parallelised using Message Passing. The course covers all the basic knowledge required to write parallel programs using this programming model, and is directly applicable to almost every parallel computer architecture.
Parallel programming by definition involves co-operation between processors to solve a common task. The programmer has to define the tasks that will be executed by the processors, and also how these tasks are to synchronise and exchange data with one another. In the message-passing model the tasks are separate processes that communicate and synchronise by explicitly sending each other messages. All these parallel operations are performed via calls to some message-passing interface that is entirely responsible for interfacing with the physical communication network linking the actual processors together. This course uses the de facto standard for message passing, the Message Passing Interface (MPI). It covers point-to-point communication, non-blocking operations, derived datatypes, virtual topologies, collective communication and general design issues.
The course is delivered in an intensive two-day face-to-face format, followed by a half-day online follow up session. It is taught using a variety of methods including formal lectures, practical exercises, programming examples and informal tutorial discussions. This enables lecture material to be supported by the tutored practical sessions in order to reinforce the key concepts.
This course is free to all UK based academics.
