After a great turnout at our last #FuturePub in May, and given that the London ALPSP conference is coming up soon, Overleaf is teaming up with Scholarly Social for a pre-ALPSP event on September 13th!

The evenings are designed to be fun and informal – we aim to give opportunities to those working on new ideas and innovations a chance to present and get feedback on their ideas. There’s also free pizza!

This is the eighth #FuturePub – we’re now described as “a staple of the London science tech/publishing scene” (thanks Eva!) – but in case this is your first time, here’s how it works:

  1. Six quick-fire talks cover a range of new and exciting developments in science & publishing tech.
  2. These all fit into a one hour slot (from 7-8pm), to keep the evening fast-paced and fun!
  3. The rest of the evening is then open for discussions and conversations over drinks – we expect a great mixture of attendees from the research, publishing and start-up communities.

Speakers & Talks

We have a great selection of speakers lined up, including:

  1. How to back science you can believe in with Walacea
    Natalie Jonk, Founder
  2. Manuscripts: scholarly writing with a difference
    Matias Piipari, CEO and co-founder
  3. How scientists can measure the scientific quality of research papers and discover the best articles in their discipline with Science Factor

  4. Exploring Kudos – new integrations and our UX design

  5. Connecting experts with businesses and labs through Kolabtree
