CCSR's Lunchtime Discussions Series

The Lunchtime Discussions Series is a weekly meeting of CCSR and friends for informal discussions of our work. In contrast to 4pm seminar series, the lunchtime discussions are an opportunity to present work in progress, get feedback on research or teaching puzzles and engage in stimulating conversation in a friendly atmosphere over a sandwich and a drink.

Lunchtime discussion are held every Tuesday at 12noon in termtime.

For more information about the lunchtime discussions series, or if you'd like to lead a session, please contact Nissa or Susan: Nissa.Finney@manchester.ac.uk (ext 54738) or Susan.O'Shea@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk.
