Seminar description
The LAMPS Seminar Series is intended to serve as an open forum for PGR students in Edinburgh and the wilder world to present and share their research, including works in progress, and gather helpful feedback from an interdisciplinary cohort.
Time and location
Unless stated otherwise, the seminars take place from 5pm to 6pm every Wednesday in the Teviot Lecture Theatre, Old Medical School, Doorway 5. When speakers are presenting online (indicated with an asterisk), we will still hold our usual in-person events.
