Quantum for Humanity – 07 August 2024

Join us for a student and Early Career Researcher day conference for all Early Career Researchers, postgraduate students and undergraduate students at Imperial who are interested in quantum science and technology.

If you are developing quantum software or hardware, or using it in your research, join us to explore the range of quantum work being carried out across Imperial.

We will be joined by four keynote speakers:

There will be breakout room discussions on the following topics:

  • Quantum for good – how do you approach using your work for good?
  • Developing your quantum career – what are you doing so far and what do you need?
  • Quantum skills scoping – how are our skills valuable in the world? What skills are we missing?
  • Science communication and outreach on quantum – what have you tried and what did you learn?
  • Quantum platform – what would cross-College support for the quantum research community ideally look like?

There will be the opportunity to showcase your work at our poster session. Submissions are open! (this can be one you’ve submitted elsewhere before)

The Triptych of Science art exhibition (25-26 July 2024)

An invitation to an art exhibition about research culture at Imperial

The Good Science Project is pleased to announce its first art exhibition, ‘The Triptych of Science’, to be held in the Chaplaincy Multi-Faith Centre on July 25th and 26th.  ‘The Triptych of Science’ is made by a group of Imperial scientists, working under the guidance of artist-in-residence Ella Miodownik. All College members, and their families and friends, are warmly invited.

The exhibition is open for visitors without registration, but if you would like to come to the Private View and reception, from 4-7pm on Thursday 25th July, please register here. We believe we can guarantee you a good time.

The project brief was to represent vital aspects of the life scientific, especially those central to daily laboratory practice. Three concepts form the animating principles of the art piece. These are Time, Balance and Emotion, the foundations of research familiar to all scientists. Expect to see new perspectives on science, its methods of research, and its communication. And if you believe that the boundaries between art and science are not so clear, and that art sometimes is a resource for good science, then this event is definitely for you.

The Good Science Project is a collaboration between the Office of the Vice-Provost (Research and Enterprise) and Imperial’s Science Communication Unit.
