If you would like to attend this meeting, there is no registration fee, but we do ask you to register for the meeting by completing Part A of the form via the link below and to submit this by 31 October 2023,

We are pleased to offer two distinct oral presentation formats for the upcoming event and particularly encourage presentations from Early Career Researchers (ECRs), including Postdocs, Graduate Students and Research Assistants, even if at an early stage of their projects. If you would like to present your work, please indicate the formats that you would be willing to consider by also completing Part B and submitting the form by the earlier deadline of 12 October 2023. For either format an abstract of up to 100 words is required to assist the Organising Committee in assembling a programme that reflects the diversity of EV research in Oxford.

After the event, a drinks reception will be held for networking and promoting collaborative connections amongst colleagues and our event sponsors.
