An academic staff chat is a frank, open discussion with a small group of your colleagues on a particular topic.  The series runs during the academic year and includes four different topics.  The first series of chats were held in 2015-16.  Some topics may include a speaker or panel prior to ample discussion time.  All sessions include a free lunch and are free of charge.

Numbers are very limited to ensure a fruitful small group discussion.
