WOMHER's seminar series aims to bring together PhD students, researchers, and others interested in WOMHER's research focus. The lunch seminars are held four times per term, with the hosting rotating between different fields of science to ensure interdisciplinarity. The lunch seminars are conducted via Zoom, and the same Zoom link is used for all seminars. The seminars are held in English only.
