Ideas in Bloom: PhD Talks in the Library at University Arms

What happens when academic research leaves the lecture hall and enters the bar?

Ideas in Bloom is a free, informal evening series hosted in the Library at University Arms, Cambridge. Once a month, a PhD researcher or recent graduate shares the thinking behind their thesis, not through slides and jargon, but through story, insight, and conversation.

Each event includes:

• A 20–30 minute accessible talk
• An open Q&A and audience discussion
• Informal mingling over drinks afterwards

Whether you are a Cambridge local, a visitor, a hotel guest, or simply curious, this is a space designed for listening, asking questions, and discovering something new.

No prior expertise required, only curiosity.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
