Inaugural lectures have a rich tradition in higher education, allowing new professors the opportunity to highlight their career achievements and engage a much wider audience in their work.

Our research seminars complement this with lively, informative talks on the biggest issues in global health.

Join us to hear leading scientists and researchers share their work; everything from the latest innovations in cutting-edge gene technology to disrupt the spread of vector-borne disease, progress towards a universal anti-venom for snakebite, preparation for future pandemics or building effective healthcare systems in an increasingly unstable world.

These free events are open to all, and suitable for anyone with an interest in science or global health.

Speakers for this series of Inaugural Lectures are now confirmed. Please keep an eye on this page and our social media channels for further details on each talk and information on how to book your place.
