CMP 2022 Seminar Series

The CMP Seminar Series features CMP hosts giving short presentations about their proposed topics, followed by discussion with interested students. The first seminar (the 7th) will feature a panel discussion with some of last year's CMP students. The last seminar for 2022 took place on Monday 28 February.

Seminar Recordings

Where hosts gave their permission, presentations have been recorded. Links to the recordings are posted below the presentations for each date. You will need to log in to Google Drive with your University of Cambridge credentials to view the videos.
