Held during British Science Week (6-15 March), STEM for Britain is an annual poster competition for early-career researchers in science, technology, engineering, and maths. This year, the contest attracted over 400 high-quality entries from dozens of universities and research institutions within the UK. I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of around 180 researchers that presented in the finals to Members of the Houses of Parliament at Portcullis House.

This post summarises the highlights from my experience of attending the exhibition (including winning the IEEE ComSoc award!), as well as a brief overview of my presentation, focused on 'intra-chip' wireless communication for 3D-ICs.

STEM for Britain Highlights

One of my favourite aspects of the STEM for Britain event was the diversity of the submissions. Researchers presented their work from a wide range of disciplines, with presentations covering topics from searching for leptoquarks (never before discovered subatomic particles), all the way to designing the next generation of 'flexible' airplane wings. Submissions were evaluated in two stages. Initially, a technical write-up was assessed by distinguished scientists, engineers and mathematicians from the leading professional bodies for each discipline. Following this technical stage, the selected finalists were invited to present a poster in Parliament to a general audience. This meant that, although the exhibition was technically very diverse, all the presentations were clear and easy to understand. The standard of the presentations was very high, and it was a great opportunity to learn about work from other fields, which sparked several discussions about inter-disciplinary collaboration.
