Further detail
An informal lunchtime seminar series is held in Wolfson College most Wednesdays of full term. The series is designed to enable and encourage junior members of Wolfson College to speak in an informal setting about their past and/or current research. College visitors and other college members are also encouraged to participate and give talks. Participants can bring in their trays and have lunch during the talks, and we encourage friendly debate over complimentary coffee and biscuits. Seminar topics are invited across all academic disciplines.
