The Centre for 21st Century Public Health Brown Bag Seminar Series

This seminar series for Bath researchers aims to spark interdisciplinary collaboration and offer opportunities for exchanging ideas.

About the series


Our monthly Brown Bag Seminar Series is an informal and supportive space for University of Bath researchers to share work in progress, spark interdisciplinary collaborations, and exchange ideas. The seminars are organised around broad research themes, ranging from corporate influence on science, to tobacco and other addictions, commercial and other structural determinants of health, and healthy environments and sustainable economies.

Sessions will be held in person on the first Tuesday of every month at 12 noon. A light lunch will be provided, and the seminar itself will begin promptly at 12.15 pm, running for approximately one hour. The room will remain booked until 1.30 pm to allow time for informal discussion and networking.

Whether you are developing a paper, planning a grant, or exploring a new research question, these sessions are a great way to connect with colleagues across the University.

Please contact c21ph@bath.ac.uk to book your place.
