Research - Seminars

The exchange of information and presentation of research results in the form of seminars is a regular feature of life at the University of Otago, Christchurch (UOC), and Canterbury District Health Board. Aside from the regular seminar series to which everybody is invited, seminars occur regularly at a departmental and group level.

Organisers of health related seminars at other institutions are most welcome to apply to feature their seminars here also. If you wish your seminar series to feature here, contact the UOC Research Manager, Virginia Irvine.
