What happened at the CSAE Conference 2020 - #DIYCSAE?
The CSAE Conference 2020 was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and so didn't take place as usual in Oxford in 2020. Instead, we took the Conference to Twitter for #DIYCSAE (16 March - 03 April 2020). Thank you to everyone who got involved with #DIYCSAE by contributing presentations and discussion via @Oxford_CSAE to keep the 2020 Conference programme alive. You can view all the post via the Conference programme or via the hashtag #DIYCSAE.
