Events
BVI’s annual lectures and regular seminars showcase the interdisciplinary nature of its work to a wide audience to promote understanding of the visual mechanisms and processes evolved in humans and other animals, and their translation to innovations in technology, medicine and the creative arts.
Events overview
- 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.
Seminars are held on alternate Fridays during term time from 4pm-5pm.
- Vision Researchers Colloquium
An annual event led by BVI, in partnership with the Universities across the region. It brings together early career vision researchers from a wide range of disciplines, encompassing Vision Science and Engineering.
We are holding the first Colloquium since 2022 in June 2026. Each colloquium provides an opportunity for postgraduate students, postdoctoral research associates and others at an equivalent early career stage to present their work and obtain valuable feedback in an informal conference environment.
- Richard Gregory Memorial Lecture
Bristol Vision Institute celebrates the work and life of Professor Richard Gregory through an annual public lecture in his memory.
