Connecting Research with the world
This year, our annual International Symposium will go Beyond Words to explore communication. We will celebrate the richness of languages and dialects in Spain and the UK and their role in advancing research and knowledge dissemination. We will also explore the importance of non-verbal communication and how gestures, facial expressions, body language, and visual representations play a crucial role in conveying complex ideas and emotions. From scientific illustrations to interactive exhibits and multimedia presentations, we will showcase the power of non-verbal communication in research and innovation.
Newcastle upon Tyne, our host city, offers the perfect backdrop for this exploration. Renowned for its vibrant culture and history. Nowhere better to deep into dialects than Newcastle, famous for its distinctive Geordie dialect, a testament to the city’s unique linguistic heritage.
Join us as we embark on a journey of discovery, embracing linguistic diversity and unlocking the potential of non-verbal communication to connect research with the world in ways that transcend words. Mark your calendars and prepare to be inspired “Beyond Words” in Newcastle upon Tyne!

Our Venue
The 11th SRUK/CERU Symposium 2024 will take place at Newcastle University. Founded in 1834 as a School of Medicine and Surgery, the university was once part of the federal University of Durham but became the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1963. The University has a long history moving beyond words, as it is considered the birthplace of pop art. The Hatton Gallery, part of the Newcastle University Fine Art Building has hosted exhibitions of artists such as Richard Hamilton or Eduardo Paolozzi, which allow the institution to claim its role in the emergence of the art movement of the late 1950s that mixes imagery from advertising, comic books and other mass-produced objects.

About SRUK/CERU
SRUK/CERU was created in July 2011 (officially established in June 2012) to promote communication within the community of Spanish Researchers working in the United Kingdom by creating a social network that facilitates the sharing of professional and life experiences. The association has encouraged this communication via the establishment of Constituencies throughout the UK and Departments and Committees supporting our activity.
During all these years of intense and pioneering work, SRUK/CERU has consolidated as a society that brings together Spanish researchers in the UK to give them a united voice that impacts society, influences science policy and closes the gap between researchers in the UK and Spain.
