Science by day, ceilidh by night! From Day 2 onwards we enjoyed an exciting programme of talks, but the highlight for many was the ceilidh that evening. Huge thanks to the Òr Ceilidh Band for an amazing night of Scottish music, dancing, and fun! 💃🕺🎻
Our sponsors will be in the Alder Room at the Nucleus Building from tomorrow onwards!

We are incredibly grateful to our six keynote speakers for their inspiring talks, sharing their career journeys and their research. Their insights into science, challenges, and opportunities were a true highlight of the programme and sparked many great discussions. 🧬🌱♥️

Looking back at #YRSPP2026 📸
Day 1 began with on-site preparations for the symposium before we headed on a walk through the Edinburgh Botanic Garden. We rounded off the day with drinks, snacks, and great conversations at the UoE Dome Pleasance Bar. A fantastic start to the week!
