PVC's Lunchtime Seminars 2010-11 Programme Announced

Prof John Baldock, PVC Research at Kent, has announced the Lunchtime Seminars programme for 2010-11.

As in previous years, these are an opportunity for academics from across the University to get together to hear about work happening in other Schools, to share expertise, and identify areas of common interest that might lead to future collaboration, funding and publication.

This year we have asked staff to suggest topics, and the programme reflects a diverse range of people who volunteered to host a session.

Do come along if you are able. Lunch is available from 12:30, and the Seminars themselves begin at 1pm. The format is usually one where the panel make very short presentations of their work and arguments and then discussion amongst the panel and with the audience follows. The events end just before 2.00pm. Venues will be confirmed in due course. Please contact me if you would like to attend any or all of these events.
