BVI Seminar Series

BVI Seminars are free hour-long talks focusing on a particular area of vision research usually with an interdisciplinary flavour. They are delivered by national and international speakers from across the world with a broad appeal across the field of vision.

Our seminars and panels run on Fridays from 16.00 GMT, term-time and are free to attend. Please keep checking this page, as our schedule is regularly being updated.

Please note that this year we are introducing lunchtime events and therefore moving away from a single time slot (e.g. 4pm on Fridays).
