The Sensors speed-networking event was attended by researchers from a number of schools within the faculty of engineering, along with the schools of Computer Science, Chemistry, Geography and Pharmacy. After initial presentations by senior academics, participants were introduced to the concept of speed-networking, in which each participant was allowed a five minute, focussed discussion with every other participant. These discussions seemed to have revealed some interesting possibilities for collaboration; with some participants discovering that others had either similar interests or knowledge that could potentially be useful in ongoing projects. The event led to at least one ongoing collaboration, involving myself, between the schools of Computer Science, Geography and Electrical Engineering, which is orientated around the use of networks of sensors in forest ecosystems.
