Hilary Seminar Series 2012
The Oxford Water Security Network is hosting a seminar series during Hilary Term 2012. This seminar series will demonstrate the breadth and diversity of water research across Oxford in the lead up to the international conference on Water Security, Risk and Society in April 2012. The seminar series is structured around sessions with two 20-minute presentations from water researchers in different disciplines. Each presentation will provide a broad review of the topic area, coinciding with the release of short briefing paper on the topic. The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel discussion to stimulate discussion across the disciplines and engage audience members from academia, government and industry.
The seminar series will be scheduled for Wednesdays every other week at 5pm in the Lecture Theatre, Lincoln College, EPA Science Centre, Museum Road, OX1 3PX.
