Our seminars are an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in broad range of astronomical research areas with specialists in their fields. They are open all staff and students in the department, and final year undergraduates doing astronomy projects, are particularly welcome to attend. You may also be interested in other seminars in the Department of Physics.

Astronomy seminars are normally held at 2 PM on alternate Wednesdays, in room PS 017 of the Physical Sciences building, but please refer to the table below for any changes to these details. The seminars are preceded by an informal lunch with the speaker, to which all members of the Astronomy group are welcome.

For further details, or if you are interested in giving a seminar at Warwick, please contact Chris Copperwheat or Elmé Breedt.

Information for visiting seminar speakers The University hosts a general webpage with travel directions to the University of Warwick, which you may find useful, but here are a few additional notes.
(1) We STRONGLY recommend that you print off a campus map  otherwise taxi drivers are likely to drop you in the wrong place. The Astronomy group is in building 44 (Physical Sciences), near Car Parks 9 and 10 on the map.
(2) If you are coming by car, please bear in mind that parking may difficult during term time. We recommend that you use Car Park 15 (grab a ticket to enter). A car park map is also available.
(3) If you come by train, the nearest station is Coventry, not Warwick! Coventry station is well connected to London and Birmingham, and taxis are available to bring you to campus.
