Open lectures

The University of Brighton hosts a series of research-based lectures throughout the year, including inaugural lectures that showcase the work of our newest professors.

Spanning topics from microgravity to design history, the lectures give you a great opportunity to learn about the variety of research interests across the university. They are open to the general public and form part of our commitment to making our research relevant and accessible to the wider community.

Inaugural lectures are free, open to all and followed by a reception where conversations can continue informally. Booking is required, so please click on the relevant link below to find out more and secure your place. Do register online no later than 48 hours prior to the event. You are welcome to bookmark this page and check back to find out about future events.
