Shuffling splinters ( 3 sessions)
Topic-based splinter (1 session)
To facilitate collaboration and in-depth discussion on subjects of common interest we have a "Topic-based splinter" for about ~45mins towards the end of the conference. This session will be based on the six topics:
This session does not have a list of speakers or presentations but driven completely by a few sub-topics and questions suggested by you.
You can ask your questions to the moderators in advance by filling out this form -- Ask me anything.
If you have multiple question, then feel free to fill the form multiple times.
The deadline to fill this form is 18th April 2021.
The conference will consist of three different ways of scientific interactions:
The plenary session will have three invited talks in frontier topics related to exoplanetary science. Each of the plenary talks will be for ~20 minutes including Q&As moderated by a chair.
The shuffling splinter sessions will be where most of the discussions will be taking place. We will have three episodes of shuffling splinters. Each episode will consists of a small group of people, randomly pre-assigned such that everyone should get to meet between 20 and 23 different people.

Gather.Town - Posters sessions/social meeting
Share a plot/image: All the attendees will have an opportunity to just share a single image or a plot. To request a slot email ukexom2021@contacts.bham.ac.uk with a single JPEG version of your plot/image/poster (limit the file size to 3MB). Just like you would at a normal conference you will have an opportunity to stand near your plot/image/poster and interact and discuss with other attendees.
Institute/University posters: Each institution can present its group in a poster. The poster can represent /list the research undertaken, people involved and the facilities your institute/university has access to. The idea is to present your institute/ University since most of the audience might know one or two institutes. If you are interested in this session please email ukexom2021@contacts.bham.ac.uk
Job advert: If you have PhD funding, a postdoc position or a permanent position that will open at your institution/university. Please email to ukexom2021@contacts.bham.ac.uk. We will have a Job advert room with your listing.
Notice board: To advertise an upcoming conference or any other notice you would like to add, please email ukexom2021@contacts.bham.ac.uk
We will host a virtual poster session using Gather.Town, a virtual platform designed to emulate a real-world social experience. We will circulate a link to the registered attendees two weeks before the conference. Gather.Town allows you to walk around and video chat with attendees nearby. We plan to have the following poster rooms:
