Inaugural lectures are typically staged in recognition of the appointment of University Chairs. They represent a significant milestone in the career of an academic, providing official recognition of their new role. The lecture offers an opportunity for the individual to showcase their academic achievements in research, innovation, engagement and further relevant activities, to a diverse audience comprising colleagues within higher education and related disciplines, as well as family, friends and the general public. Lecturers usually reflect upon their research, their career and what the future might hold. These events offer audiences the opportunity to hear from some of the world's most celebrated academics across a range of subjects.
Professor of Computer Science and Dean of the School of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Computer Science, Professor Katie Atkinson, will deliver her Inaugural Lecture on Thursday 30th March 2023 at 5pm and will be followed by a networking reception.
