Tizard Research Seminar Series
Each academic year we have a series of research seminars. These lectures usually take place between 1700-1800hrs in the Symposium Room at the Kent Business School, University of Kent, CT2 7PE.
They are followed by an informal drinks reception in the KBS Foyer, where you will have the opportunity to meet with the Speaker and members of the Tizard team.
The seminars are open to all - students, staff and external visitors are warmly invited to attend and there is no charge for either the lecture or the reception. Please note that events may be subject to change.
