About this Event

Public Lecture

We are delighted to announce that Professor Avi Widgerson has agreed to present a public lecture on Thursday 17 September 2026, aimed at a more general audience. His topic will be Reading Alan Turing.

Synopsis: Turing did not write much, but his papers were a marvel of eloquence, and reveal his remarkable breadth of interests. More importantly, they contain prescient, revolutionary ideas which literally changed the world, several times over. In this talk I will describe some of these ideas and their impact.

Please arrive promptly at 17:00 for registration - the lecture will commense at 17:30
