It included a series of talks of academic interest, transferable skills talks, and poster sessions that gave invited students the opportunity to present their work to Microsoft researchers. For the first time, Cambridge researchers presented demos of their work during a special DemoFest session.
Invited students included PhD students in their first or second year from universities and research institutions with which Microsoft Research partners and all Microsoft Research Scholars.
