<div><span></span><span>On</span><b class="ContentPasted0"> Monday the 11th</b><span>, there will be a high-level panel discussion and we have been invited to form a "Youth Council" to have a platform to share our questions/comments/concerns with the panel
and have a bit of the spotlight. We are looking for a diverse group of young researchers who are engaged and want to take on this task. The responsibilities are to meet beforehand for about an hour to draft prepared questions for the panel, and to present
at the event. This is an excellent opportunity to have your voice heard by some big-time people from across academic research, industry and policy making. There will be
<b>free food and drinks</b> at the reception, and an excellent chance to network!<br>
