The BCSWomen Lovelace Colloquium is a one-day conference for women undergrad\r\nand masters students in computing. The centrepiece of the day is a poster\r\ncontest, and to enter the contest all students need do is write a short\r\nabstract (250 words). I started this conference, back in 2008, and run it every year in different universities around the UK. Last year we had just over 150 attendees, and this year we’re hoping to beat that. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
SO in March this year we’ll be at Sheffield Hallam Uni, with support from the University of Sheffield, and we’ve got a great speaker lineup coming together – I’ll probably blog about that again in a couple of weeks. Thanks to generous\r\nsponsorship we can refund travel for poster contest finalists, and this year we\r\nhope to be able to cover about 80 places. If you can, talk to students and\r\nencourage them to apply, as confidence is often an issue. There are some\r\nabstracts from previous years here if you want to see the type of thing that’s\r\nbeen submitted before:\r\nsome sample abstracts<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n This is our 9th event, and we are expecting a good turnout. We’ve grown year\r\non year and now have a good reputation with students and industrial sponsors.\r\nSo please encourage any undergrads you know to apply – it’s fun and it looks good on\r\nthe CV. And there will be cake.<\/P>\r\n If you’re a student, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\r\n Here’s the call for abstracts: http:\/\/bit.ly\/bcs_lovelace<\/a>, you’ve got just under 2 weeks to write 250 words.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The BCSWomen Lovelace Colloquium is a one-day conference for women undergrad and masters students in computing.
