Sensor team challenge presentation

The students will present the results from their team challenge project at the conference. This year the Sensor CDT MRes student cohort developed a low-cost air-pollution sensor sensor which could be built and used by the public.

Industry Pitching Session

We are hosting an industry pitching session which will be given by supporters of the Sensor CDT.

Poster submission

This is an exciting opportunity to present your sensor research to leading figures in the field from academia and industry. A prize for the best poster will be awarded at Sensors Day.

Please use the abstract template and submit to admin@sensors.cam.ac.uk.

The deadline for submitting a poster abstract is 5 October 2018.

For further information please contact the Sensor CDT.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship and Exhibitor packages are available.  Please contact the Sensor CDT for further information.

Sensors student showcase

In addition to Sensors Day we are running a Sensor CDT PhD showcase event on 18 October at Murray Edwards College. This is an exciting opportunity for PhD student participants to network and exchange ideas and research findings with their peers. We encourage PhD participants to sign up for the showcase event as well. Full details can be found here.
