CDE Showcase 20^th June 2018

On 20^th June 2018 CDE will be hosting a CDE showcasing event at the Digital Catapult Centre in London.

The event will commence with a light lunch and networking, with CDE students showcasing interactive demos within the Immersive Lab area of the Digital Catapult. We will then head through to the main auditorium where CDE students will have the opportunity to give a short presentation on their research. We will also be joined by CDE Alumni Oliver Gingrich and the Analema Group who will be presenting their KIMA project. We anticipate the event closing at 16.30

CDE students, academics and companies will be invited to attend, along with members of the Digital Catapult and Digital Economy Network.

The Call

All CDE students are invited to attend and provide one of the following:

1. Interactive Demo – this could be directly linked to your research and can be something you have presented before (please ensure you have permission from your industrial supervisor to showcase the demo), or it could be a project you have previously worked on or something you are developing within your own time that highlights your areas of interest. Group work is also acceptable.
2. Short presentation – in the region of 5-10 minutes, PowerPoint presentation, with sound and video clips if you wish. Again this could be directly linked to your research or relevant projects you are working on outside of your research.
