Events

The Programme runs seminars (for the business and academic community), study groups (for academics and Research Partners), complexity days (with a mixture of organisations and in-house), workshops and conferences (for the whole complexity community of interest), as well as Consortium meetings especially designed for the Research Partners.

Videos of many of our previous events are available on our YouTube channel.

This listing below covers all our events from 2001 until the present day. Details of events from 1995 to 2000 can be found on the archived LSE website.

Below is a list of our previous events. The events are grouped in three ways:

• Prof. Eve Mitleton-Kelly's presentations
• Events with categories assigned; grouped by category
• All events, grouped by year
