Edinburgh AMR Forum seminar series 2021/22
List of speakers, titles and dates for the bi-weekly AMR series.
The first seminars in the series will be held online, but we hope to gradually move to in person events as the pandemic allows.
To help promote collaborations and networking, the online events will be followed by the opportunity to meet other attendees informally via wonderme.com. The joining links for the events will be added here when available.
All seminars will be at 4 pm on Wednesday afternoons unless otherwise stated.
