Application procedure:
To attend the five day programme, you should first make an application here. Numbers will be limited and those interested are advised to make an early application.
Application deadline: Wednesday, 31st May 2023. We will inform you about the outcome of your application shortly after the deadline. Students are asked to provide a letter of recommendation, e.g. from their PhD advisor. Any letters of recommendation should be emailed to mlmp2023@physics.ox.ac.uk with the applicant's name clearly indicated in the subject line by 31st May 2023. Postdoctoral and more senior applicants are not required to provide letters of recommendation.
Fees (payable upon confirmation of successful application): Research students £150, Early career researchers £250. There will be no charge for subsistence costs. All other participants (e.g. those working in industry) will be charged a registration fee of £250 and will be asked to make their own accommodation arrangements.
All UK-based participants must pay their own travel costs. For overseas-based participants, support will be available to contribute towards travel costs.
If you have questions regarding the programme, please send an email to: mlmp2023@physics.ox.ac.uk.
