Celebrating our 70th Anniversary with friends and colleagues

Thank you to all our alumni, past and present staff, and current postgraduates who joined us to celebrate our 70th Anniversary on 23 November.

Institute Director, Professor Stephen Porter, looked back on our remarkable history and explored our ongoing status as a world-leading centre for postgraduate dentistry.

Dr Stefano Fedele presented an overview of our extensive clinical research program whilst Professor Dave Spratt gave the audience a preview of our new facilities in the heart of UCL

We particularly pleased that Stephen Hancocks OBE, Editor-in-Chief of the BDJ, delivered a wonderful keynote address on his insight into the Eastman legacy. 

The afternoon concluded with the presentation of the inaugural Ivor Kramer medal. 

This new award, sponsored by Professor Kramer’s former colleagues and students*, recognises postgraduates who have achieved excellence during their period of study at the Institute.
