Spotlight sessions in our Speaker’s Corner
Let us celebrate each other’s work. We invite delegates to share updates on their recent science-related books, podcasts, blogs and similar projects. These sessions will take place during the afternoon coffee breaks on 1, 2, 3 and 4 December 2025 at the Speaker’s Corner in the Exhibition Hall.
