Inaugural Lecture Series
Inaugural lectures are important flagship events in the Faculty of Science.
Our inaugural lectures are held by academic staff who have been newly appointed as professors, to celebrate the varied research we do across the faculty and inspire future scientists.
We host inaugural lectures throughout the academic year. They are free and open to everyone. These lectures are a great way of finding out more about the varied subjects our scientists are investigating and the applications of their research in society.
We will be hosting 19 inaugural lectures in 2023. A list of these lectures is provided below, with additional details and links to recorded sessions being provided as we confirm each lecture.
You can also watch recordings of lectures from previous years on our past lectures webpage.
