Ocean Sciences Seminar Series
Usually every Friday, in person or via Teams.
These seminars are a great opportunity to find out what research goes on inside and outside SOS.
Seminars will be either in person for speakers that are coming to Bangor, or online on Teams. Where meetings are in person in the Sarah Jones Lecture Theatre, capacity is limited to 48 persons (although this is generally not expected to be a limiting factor), and we will simultaneously webcast the seminar via Teams.

If you would like to volunteer to give a talk or have suggestions for speakers, please get in touch with Jan Geert Hiddink. If there any particular areas of science or types of speakers that you feel have been underrepresented in the past year and you would like to hear more of, please let Jan know.
