Guidelines for giving a talk

Participants

  • Talks are to be 20 minutes long. This will allow as many people as possible to present their work.
  • Please bear in mind that although topologists, attendees will be working in different branches of the field. As such, talks should aim to be understandable on an overview level by non-specialists.
  • We have whiteboards and computers for slide shows available. Please let us know if you need anything special (We have rope, glue, scissors etc in the office).

Reimbursement

  • Some funding is available for travel inside the UK by PhD students and postdocs based within the UK, provided by the TCC (see below). However, the amounts available will depend largely on the number of people requiring support - so if at all possible participants are encouraged to try and find other means of funding. Further details on funding available to individual registrants will be relayed after the deadline.
  • For those of you with childcare commitments, do not forget about the LMS Childcare Supplementary Grants.
