Welcome to Our STEM Christmas Lectures
The University of Lincoln is excited to offer a range of inspiring and interactive talks for our annual STEM Christmas Lecture series, beginning on Monday 12 December. This series aims to inspire the next generation of scientists and will showcase our expertise in key STEM subjects.
Following the success of our virtual event last year, we will be offering a range of virtual lectures across the week streamed via our YouTube channel to give everyone the opportunity to experience a taste of teaching at Lincoln.
If you have any interest in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or Computer Science then join us from Monday 12 December to find out more about what we do in the College of Science, our research, and what makes Lincoln such a great place to live and learn.
