Seminars to be inspired by
Here you can see the recordings of our anniversary seminars as well as the seminars in the series on academic freedom.
In our anniversary seminars, a wide range of topics that affect the university are highlighted, including research communication, education policy, research policy, collaboration and AI. The seminar series will run throughout 2025.
