These irregular UGMLC School Scientific Symposia and Career Development Symposia are open for attendance by all UGMLC School associated faculty and students. These symposia are generally one-day, two-day, or three-day symposia, are held off-site, in a retreat-type format. These symposia consist of 8-10 external invited speakers, which address a particular theme of broad interest to UGMLC laboratories based in all three affiliated institutions. These symposia have a pronounced educational aspect, and presentations are allocated unusually long time-frames to allow for extensive discussion. The programme also includes presentations by affiliated faculty members, and their students; as well as generous time allocation for informal discussion during meal-times and coffee-breaks, a meet-the-professor session, and a brief informal excursion to landmarks in the surrounding area.
