What is IN[SCI]TE?
IN[SCI]TE is a new interdisciplinary science, technology, and engineering conference, which will take place on Monday and Tuesday of 0th Week Trinity Term 2016. IN[SCI]TE is run by undergrads, and the talks will be both delivered by and aimed at undergrads.
The aims for IN[SCI]TE are to broaden the knowledge and awareness of science undergrads outside their field of study, to provide a setting for undergrads to give a talk at a scientific conference during their degree, and to inspire future scientists to enter areas of work that cross the boundaries in science.
To keep up to date with the conference, like us on facebook.com/insciteco<http://facebook.com/insciteco>, and follow us @insciteco.

Completing the survey is by no means an obligation to attend - we just want to get an idea of how many people might be interested, and when people might have time to attend. If you have any questions, you can contact the Committee at committee(a)ox.compsoc.net.
