Department life
Community is an important part of life at CEB. A long-standing departmental tradition, established by our first Head of Department, Terence Fox, brings staff and students together twice each day for tea.
Originally intended to encourage the exchange of scientific ideas and foster collaboration across disciplines, tea remains a valued part of departmental life today. It provides an opportunity to discuss research, share perspectives, build connections and strengthen our community. Everyone is welcome.
