IRES Seminar Series

The IRES Seminar Series showcases the research of our graduate students, faculty and guests. We also host monthly professional development seminars. Our seminars are open to everyone.

Date/Time: Seminars run every Thursday during the Winter Session (September to April) from 12:30pm to 1:20pm.

Location: Seminars will be hybrid (in-person and via Zoom). Seminars will mostly take place in the Beaty Museum Allan Yap Theatre (Basement, 2212 Main Mall) or the Michael Smith Labs Theatre (Room 102, 2185 East Mall). Please check each seminar post for the location. Click each seminar listing to register in advance if you are participating via Zoom. Zoom will be terminated if we encounter tech problems 5 to 10 minutes into the seminar.

Important note: NO FOOD OR DRINKS ALLOWED IN BOTH THEATRES.

Select seminar videos are available for viewing on our YouTube channel
