Supported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts, the MNI's Killam Seminar Series invites outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interest to the scientific community at the MNI and McGill University.
Seminars are held on Tuesday afternoons at 4:00 pm in the de Grandpré Communications Centre in the Brain Tumour Research Centre, unless otherwise specified. In the spirit of the MNI designation as an Open Science Institute some lecturers have agreed to have their lectures live-streamed on the MNI Youtube channel. The live link is available below for individual speakers.
We have created a Google Calendar you can subscribe to, in order to be notified of Killam Seminars and MNI named lectures. For more information, click here.
