Flagship events
Our events programme brings together academics, students, partners and the public.
It includes conferences, seminars and professional training, alongside departmental and stakeholder events. We also deliver public engagement activities that showcase our research and teaching to wider audiences.
These programmes are central to how we engage the public with our work and have dedicated pages with more information.
We also contribute to wider University initiatives, including the annual Cambridge Festival, sharing research addressing global challenges in sustainability and healthcare, and supporting its schools programme.
