Events

We host a range of events throughout the year that aim to cater to all NDCN staff and students from seasonal social events to our flagship department away day.

Courses and conferences open to external researchers can be found in our Continuing Professional Development pages.

Please contact events@ndcn.ox.ac.uk with any queries or feedback about our events. 

Departmental Seminars

Our monthly Departmental Seminars are a fantastic chance to learn from NDCN Professors and Associate Professors, network with colleagues and enjoy lunch. They are usually held at the JR or DCHB and you can join in person or online.

This is an annual event where we join together to celebrate the work of our Department, and this year we made the most of being able to meet up in person, in a new venue, and with an innovative programme.

Thomas Willis Day

Usually held in June, Thomas Willis day is our flagship event celebrating our successes in research, teaching and public engagement over the year. The day includes lectures, careers workshops and the popular 3MT competition!

Lunchtime Newsround

The Newsrounds cover the latest NDCN research and engagement news from the past few months and celebrate our colleagues' achievements. They are usually held termly at the JR or DCHB and lunch is provided.
