New Professors: From Agricultural History to Food, Forest Management, Surgery and Innovation

Coats and large bags must be stored in the staffed cloakroom. Seating is limited in the studio. The lectures will also be streamed and broadcast in Room K, adjacent to the studio. There will be a 10 minute break between each lecture – it will not be possible to enter the studio while the lectures are ongoing.
