Inaugural Lectures
All new professors in ScHARR, whether they have been internally promoted or appointed externally, are given the opportunity to give an inaugural lecture. The School's Inaugural Lecture series provides an opportunity to celebrate these achievements with each lecture representing a significant milestone in an academic's career.
The normal format is for a lecture of about 45 minutes followed by a celebratory wine reception.
