The programme includes a range of activities, including talks from expert fellows, lightening talks from community members, posters from early-career researchers, presentations from clusters of sandpit-funded projects, and thematic workshops. Our schedule allows plenty of time for networking and informal discussion.

The input from and discussions with our Members, Project Partners and Stakeholders will inform our decisions about how to allocate our budget from 2023-27.
