KICC are pleased to host regular half-day or full-day internal meetings, usually one or two per term. These focus on the science themes of the Kavli Institute however they also encompass cross-themed meetings.
These informal events promote discussion and are centred around a set of talks, with good representation from students, postdoctoral researchers and fellows. Wherever possible, external contributors may also attend in-person as day visitors.
