Doctoral student Anna Muszkiewicz won the Research Spotlight Speaker Prize at the 12th London Hopper Colloquium on Wednesday 25 May 2016. The prize includes a 1-year membership of BCS - The Chartered Institute for IT - provided by BCSWomen, and an invitation to be a speaker in the next year's London Hopper event.  

Another Oxford student, Elizabeth Phillips, was among the 15 finalists of the competition.

 The Research Spotlight Competition provides a forum for communicating the essence of one's research via a 3.5-minute presentation to other postgraduate students and postdocs. 

 The 12th London Hopper Colloquium was sponsored by IBM and BCS, and organized by the BCS Academy and University College London. It took place at the BCS headquarters in London. This one-day event featured women speakers talking about their research, a spotlight competition open to postgraduate students, and opportunities to network with other new researchers in computing.
