Welcome to a popular science seminar at IKDC, Thursday 25 May from 09:30, where you will get to know this year’s honorary doctors. You will learn about nanoparticle safety, technology and innovation, and how to think like an activist. You also have a unique opportunity to mingle with both the honorary doctors and employees from all over LTH at the breakfast mingle before. The seminar starts at 10:00.

The seminar is in English, free of charge and open to the public. Each honorary doctor will speak for about 20 minutes, after which there will be time for questions. No registration is required – you are welcome to drop in.

Feel free to bring your colleagues and come to the breakfast mingle before the lectures, where we offer coffee, tea and croissants!
