Seminars
Our seminar is organised by Steffen Gielen. Seminars usually take place on Wednesdays at 3.00pm, followed by an informal tea break. We usually aim for broadly accessible talks across the range of research areas represented in the group.
In the academic year 2022–23 we expect these seminars to be a mixture of in-person seminars and virtual talks (using Blackboard Collaborate). Check the programme below for details of the talks.
