Horizon Forums bring together mainly Cambridge researchers from different disciplines to address specific themes of research interest. They are designed to help foster novel science and hence funding opportunities by bringing together researchers who might not normally interact. Examples of Horizon Forums include ‘Physics of Living matter’ and the upcoming seminar ‘The Cell-Material Interface’.

If you have a question about this list, please contact: Duncan Simpson; Lisa Wears; Gordana Najdanovic; Liam Garvey; Tamsin Mann. If you have a question about a specific talk, click on that talk to find its organiser.
