Virtual Seminars

WUN virtual seminars create and sustain global dialogue by enabling faculty, academic staff, and students to discuss cutting-edge research with remote colleagues in real time. Many seminars are archived as media sites on the Internet along with associated materials, ensuring that students and researchers can access the content in spite of constraints of time and geography. Virtual seminars have been used to foster collaborative research opportunities and to create world-class teaching and learning opportunities for students.
