Seminar Series

The NCC’s seminar series invites distinguished speakers to present their work on a diverse range of topics, informing the community of their research and the latest developments in computational methods used for research and innovation.

These take place at the premises of The Cyprus Institute, but can also be viewed online via Zoom. Some of these are also recorded and available for later viewing on YouTube.
