Astrophysics Group Meetings and Seminars

Every Thursday afternoon, the Astrophysics Group meets in the Library for seminars.`

The time allocated to speakers for their presentations is 45 minutes (plus 15 minutes for questions). Seminars begin at 2.30pm unless stated otherwise.
The seminar is preceded by lunch at a local pub and is followed by coffee and biscuits
