CPC webinars

The 2020/21 CPC webinar series got off to a flying start, with many embracing the new online format and all webinars being well-attended.

Since the start of the new semester in October 2020, we have hosted 18 CPC webinars from our sites in Southampton and Scotland. We have welcomed speakers from across the globe, and we have been able to welcome more attendees than before with travel no longer a barrier to attendance. Most of the webinars are now available to watch again on our YouTube channel, so do take a look if you missed out or would like to see the presentations again.
