Attendance at in person talks are now open to visitors, and will take place in the Lecture Theatre at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge CB2 7EF. Please note – all seats are allocated on first-come, first-served basis, and we have an H&S limit of 90 attendees which cannot be exceeded.

No on-site parking available. Please do not park illegally on the road outside, and in particular, do not park on the verges or block the footpaths. On-site cycle racks are available, and further environmentally friendly ways to travel to the Unit can be found here: Directions to Unit

Attendance at recorded talks is still restricted to MRC CBU staff and students, and the University of Cambridge academic community including alumni. Wherever possible talks will be recorded, and will be made openly available on the MRC CBU website at the end of term.
