We have an event coming up which usually attracts schools to bring S4-S6 pupils, or for teachers to attend if they are available.
The event is Discovery Days at the University of Dundee. It will take place on Thursday 14th and Friday 15th January 2016, and is open to all, including the general public and high schools.
As part of the 13th annual Discovery Day lectures in January 2016 the University’s newest professors will be highlighting their research in a series of short talks.
The day is broken up into discrete sessions featuring three or four speakers followed by questions, with breaks between sessions for coffee and lunch.
This is a tremendous opportunity to hear some of our newly-appointed professors and winners of teaching awards talk for 15 minutes each about their area of work. The event provides a great snapshot of some of the cutting-edge research and teaching that the University is engaged in. At Discovery Day 2016, we will be welcoming a further ten new Professors, talking on subjects as rich and varied as Child Dentistry, Law, Forensic Anatomy and Teacher Education., plus plenty more. You are welcome to come along for a single session, several sessions or a whole day.
All presentations will take place in the main lecture theatre at the Dalhousie Building, Old Hawkhill, University of Dundee. Free tickets for Discovery Days 2016 are available by calling 01382 386660, emailing RevealingResearch@dundee.ac.uk or collection from Tower and Dalhousie Building Receptions.
