MTM Research Seminar Series
Each year, supported by the School of Science and Technology, the MTM Research Centre arranges a series of research seminars where internationally renowned academics present their on-going or recently completed research work. The seminar topics cover Biology, Ecotoxicology, and Chemistry, and provide a forum for colleagues from various research fields to discuss current issues and establish potential collaborations.
The research seminars are open to everyone: staff, students, professionals and visitors from other research institutes as well as industries. Attendance is free. Seminars are held at the Seminar Room B3107, Bilbergska huset, Örebro University.
We hope that as many of you as possible will attend the seminars and join in the informal discussions. There is no need to notify us in advance - just turn up at the seminar.
In case you are unavailable to attend the seminar, you may view the presentation shown in the table below. If you are interested to share your research experience in the MTM Seminar Series and establish collaboration with us, please contact Leo Yeung.
