Speaker Series

The DPCR Speaker Series aims to foster intellectual exchange and broaden perspectives within our academic community. During this series, we extend a warm invitation to distinguished speakers, experts, and thought leaders who bring valuable insights and diverse experiences to the forefront.

The talks are open to all. Please contact us in advance if you are not a student or a member of staff at Uppsala University, so we can make sure you can access the venue.

For questions, please contact kathleen.klaus@pcr.uu.se
