The Foundation's International Conference 2019 focused on their new strategy, in particular: establishing the best evidence and insight, focusing on the most pressing challenges and building global coalitions to provode real change.
The range and diversity of speakers was awesome! They included Shaun Fitzgerald, Director of the Ri, Professor Mark Girolami, Director of the Alan Turing Institute, Dollin Hatchett, Director of Safety Recommendations and Communications for the US National Transportation Safety Board and Dame Wendy Hall, Executive Director of the Web Science Institute to name but a few.
It was great to meet up with several ICON students and supervisors at the event and we were delighted when ICON student, Rebecca Leong, from UTP Malaysia won the best student poster competition. Congratulations Rebecca.
