Connecting carbon scientists

The pandemic has disrupted how we share research internationally.
The Carbon Webinar aims to connect carbon scientists with the latest research being undertaken by colleagues around the world.

Framework

​Zoom webinars will run every two weeks alternating between two different timings to enable as many people to attend as possible. A 40-minute plenary style talk will be followed by a short discussion based on submitted questions. Recordings will be uploaded to YouTube.

Enabling early careers and students

The pandemic is particularly hard for early career researchers and students. Therefore, opportunities for short pre-recorded talks of 10 minutes will be arranged with multiple talks taking place during the hour time slot.

Poster competition

​An online poster competition is planned. The winners will be able to present a 10 minute pre-recorded talk about their work.
​
Please email carbonwebinar@gmail.com ​with any questions or talk abstracts for the advisory commitee to consider.
