Tech Events by University of Bristol

A week of introductory quantum computing sessions at the University of Bristol's School of Physics, run by students with IBM Quantum's Qiskit programme. Four sessions: Quantum and Qiskit 101 with Daniel Sierra-Sosa (Catholic University of America), Monday 12 October, 17:00 to 18:00 in the Frank lecture theatre, no prior knowledge assumed; a careers panel with Riverlane, Phasecraft and the Quantum Engineering CDT plus networking, Tuesday 13 October, 17:00 to 19:00; a board games social, Sunday 18 October, 13:00 to 15:00; and a coding workshop, Monday 19 October, 13:00 to 16:00. Free, but the organiser states you must be a University of Bristol student to attend. Why go: Bristol is one of the UK's quantum clusters, and a careers panel with Riverlane and Phasecraft is a direct look at who is hiring. Strictly for UoB students considering quantum.

Five-minute lightning lectures from University of Bristol Business School researchers, part of the free public day marking the university's 150th year and the opening of Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. Talks include Sue Turner OBE (Professor in Practice, AI and Tech) on whether Bristol can take back control of AI, Dr Ketch Adeeko on migrant women entrepreneurs, Dr Zara Nanu MBE on why fairness is the profitable option, Lucy McCarthy and Dr Jonathan Beacham on food systems, and Michael Lewis asking whose sky it is. 15:00 to 15:50 in the Bill Brown Forum, ground floor of the Sloane Robinson Building, Cattle Market Road. Free and open to all. The Business School also has a stand in the Exchange Hall from 12:00 to 16:30. Why go: a quick, free sample of the research behind Bristol's new enterprise campus, with Sue Turner's AI talk the one to come for. Best for founders curious about working with the university.

Join us to celebrate our 150th anniversary and the opening of Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus with a series of inspiring events.

with Tilo Burghardt (Professor of Computer Vision and Machine Learning, University of Bristol)

Professor Tilo Burghardt on what happens when computer vision and machine learning are turned on the natural world — wildlife monitoring, what the models actually see, and the questions that follow.

A showcase of early-stage innovations from University of Bristol researchers exploring how their ideas could become real-world products, services and social enterprises. Featuring participants from the Early Career Enterprise Fellowship across health, engineering, digital, sustainability and creative innovation, the afternoon mixes short live pitches with a judging panel — the winning project earns SETsquared QUEST membership. A genuine opportunity to connect with researchers, innovation staff and commercialisation experts working at the interface of academia and enterprise. Run by University of Bristol and SETsquared Bristol.
