Seminar Series

The majority of CDBS seminars will be held in person every second Thursday in the Central Area and every fourth Monday at BioQuarter at 1:00pm (UK time), unless otherwise indicated. The seminars will be 45 minutes followed by a Q and A session.

 •    Seminars will be listed as either cardiovascular research or neuroscience in the weekly INCR Events bulletin sent on a Monday morning from INCR.Communications@ed.ac.uk 
•    These seminars will also be on the Events pages of the INCR SharePoint: INCR Events - Home  
•    Any changes made after the initial announcement will be added to the next weekly INCR Events bulletin, rather than emailed out as separate messages.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend our seminars in person, however if this is not possible and you are joining from afar, please use the joining link detailed on the events listing INCR SharePoint: INCR Events - Home 

Seminars are typically only held during semester dates.
