An inaugural lecture is a key milestone in any academic's career, signifying their promotion to 'Professor'.  It is an opportunity for our new professorial colleagues to present their innovative research first-hand.  All of these events are free of charge and attendance is open to all, and we look forward to sharing the experience with you.
