CEE Spring Symposium is led and organised every year by a student or a group with guidance from the Committee. This enables students to learn and develop skills they will need in the future.

Speakers
Dr. Diana Erazo Quintero, Université Libre de Bruxelles - 'Contribution of climate change to the spatial expansion of West Nile virus in Europe and future projections'
MMath Maria A. Gutierrez, University of Cambridge - 'Evolutionary insights from mathematical modelling of vaccine escape'
