ICCS Seminar Series

These seminars are public talks hosted by the Institute of Communications and Connected Systems, and are open to all.

As a direct response to the measures used to combat the spread of COVID-19, the ICCS Online Seminar Series was launched in 2021-22 to connect our community in Bloomsbury and across the world. 

Due to the success of this series, we are now back with a curated list of both in-person and hybrid seminars delving into all aspects of communications and connected systems.

Topics will either explore subjects close to the work of our academics or introduce wider concepts from experts in the global academic and industrial community.
