Thursday 17 November, 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm, Pavilion Room
- Would you like a chance to meet other college members in a stimulating but informal setting?
- Are you interested in interdisciplinary engagement?
If so, join us for a new academic series, ‘Pending Puzzles’ being organised and led by MCR Academic Officer, Veronica Hera.
These events aim to spark interdisciplinary engagement and help build a close-knit community at Hughes by providing students and senior members with a chance to connect and consider interesting questions from different angles.
This third debate will take place on Thursday 17 November, 6.00 – 8.00 pm, where you will have the chance to hear a panel of senior fellows as well as postdoctoral fellows and PhD students discuss their views on the question: ‘The Looming Energy Crisis’
Afterwards there will be a chance to informally carry on the discussion, as well as meet other college members, over a pizza supper.
Given the high turnout we expect for this event, and so that we can cater accordingly, we highly recommend signing up using the Evenbrite link below (click here)
