Reviews

“The Wolfson Research Event is an intellectual feast,” says conference chair Konstantinos Tsigaridis. “Each year, it's a unique opportunity to broaden your horizons, delve into a variety of research topics, and engage with some of the brightest minds across different disciplines.” 

The majority of the speakers came from outside the UK: a reflection of a college in which students represent over 90 countries in total.  

“The diversity of the speakers, both in terms of background and subject matter, truly epitomizes the multicultural and interdisciplinary spirit of Wolfson,” says Konstantinos. “This rich tapestry of ideas and perspectives creates a vibrant research environment that encourages intellectual growth and collaborative breakthroughs.”
