Seminar speaker series

During term-time we invite leading researchers to give seminars which are attended by staff, undergraduate and research students, and guests.

These seminars provide students and academics from across the University with a platform to meet and discuss the latest topics in Sport and Health Sciences.

Seminars for 2011/12

Please find listed below the forthcoming seminars for 2011/12.  All are welcome to attend.

You can find  a list of all research seminars across the College of Life and Environmental Scienes on the college website events page.
