The IMSE Highlight Seminar Series is one of our flagship, community-building activities.
We bring eminent speakers from around the world, from universities, thinktanks and industry, to increase awareness of areas where molecular science and engineering can make a valuable contribution. The visits boost our level of interaction with other centres of excellence.
See how world-leading researchers are applying molecular science and engineering to solve problems. Watch previous seminars here:
