25th ANNUAL RAPS MEETING (RAPS 2025)

The 25th Annual RAPS Meeting (RAPS 2025) will be hosted at University College London (UCL) on 3rd - 5th of September 2025. The meeting is being organised by Dr Julia Rho and Dr Pratik Gurnani.

Invited speakers are:

Prof. Sébastien Perrier, University of Warwick

Dr Annette Christie, Syngenta

Dr Mike Cook, UCL

Prof. Bob Schroeder, UCL

The annual RAPS meeting aims to bring together early-career academics (within approximately 5 years of appointment), PDRAs and industrialists. We aim for this meeting to offer opportunities to present your work, develop new networks, and provide practical early-career advice from a range of experienced speakers on subjects such as generating funding, becoming independent, interacting with the media and building a lab.

Overall, the meeting is a great opportunity for early-career researchers to start their network of collaborators.

Registration is open until August 11th
