Overview
Now in its thirteenth year, the Wolfson Research Event (WRE) is one of the highlights of the College calendar, which showcases groundbreaking and innovative research from current Wolfson students, alongside inspirational keynote speakers.
As a mature college, many of Wolfson’s students come to the College with a problem to solve or an issue they’ve seen first-hand they want to interrogate – and WRE is a perfect platform to share this work with the world.
