The course will provide an introduction to the principles of pragmatic trials, including their design and analysis.  It will introduce strategies to optimise trial conduct, including consent, recruitment and data collection and highlight the importance of patient and community involvement. Participants will have an opportunity, in facilitated sessions, to work up an outline protocol for a pragmatic trial.

This introductory course would be suitable for early/mid-career researchers working in clinical research in academia or the NHS. It is open to those working across a range of research roles, including trial or data managers, principal / chief investigators etc, and does not require detailed knowledge of statistical methods.

This conference revisits contemporary strategies of deletion as both instruments of power and practices of resistance, refusal, and, more radically, negation. Across disciplines, scholars have examined how digital regimes erase particular memories, histories, subjectivities, and forms of labour, while artists and activists have developed creative strategies to rupture or perforate the relentless proliferation of images, sounds, and texts.

Bringing together media scholars, artists, archivists, and activists, the conference explores how these opposing dynamics can be understood and contested. Rather than treating deletion as a lost or merely technical operation, we ask how it might regain critical relevance under contemporary conditions. Our aim is to collectively reflect on, and experiment with, the infrastructures, methodologies, and epistemologies through which deleting can once again operate as a meaningful cultural and political act.

Gravity, Entanglement and Entropy

Conference Chairs: Dr.Tarek Anous ,Prof. Ginestra Bianconi

Gravity, Entanglement and Entropy is a one-day LMS conference bringing together leading researchers in mathematics, theoretical physics, quantum information, and cosmology to explore some of the deepest questions about the nature of the universe. The event will focus on the emerging connections between gravity, quantum entanglement, and entropy—ideas that are reshaping our understanding of spacetime, black holes, and the foundations of quantum gravity.

The conference will highlight recent advances in holography, black hole physics, quantum information theory, experimental tests of quantum gravity, and modern cosmology. As new theoretical frameworks and observational data continue to challenge established ideas, researchers are increasingly investigating whether gravity itself may emerge from fundamental information-theoretic principles.

Registration

Registration is now open for both in-person and hybrid participation. The conference fee is £30 for in-person attendance and £20 for hybrid attendance. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

As an LMS Conference, a limited number of travel and participation grants will be available to support early career researchers and researchers from Scheme 5 countries. Childcare support arrangements will also be available. For information regarding financial support, eligibility, or childcare arrangements, please contact the conference organisers directly by email [Ginestra Bianconi (g.bianconi@qmul.ac.uk), Tarek Anous (t.anous@qmul.ac.uk)]
