UCL IHE Autumn Research Symposium 2019

The day will showcase UCL's healthcare engineering research and some of our main priorities and activities.

This won't be a traditional symposium format! The event is grouped into sessions around our key values: collaboration, innovation and translation. We are planning an interesting, interactive day of panel discussions, live research demonstrations and patient stories.

We hope to see you there.
