LUCL Colloquium

The LUCL Colloquium is the perfect opportunity to hear about the latest research in LUCL research fields, and at the same time meet each other and discuss ideas in an informal academic setting.

The LUCL Colloquium series includes 6 lectures by renowned experts from outside LUCL. It was set up to create an avenue for team-building among LUCL researchers and provide a forum for informal interactions among the institute as well as building networks with visitors from elsewhere. The lectures are taking place in the afternoon and are followed by drinks in the LUCL common room.

If you have any questions, please contact one of the organisers.
