Online Lecture Series of the Prize Papers Project (Oldenburg/London), Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities

The Prize Papers Lunch Talks

The London Prize Papers are a unique source and treasure trove for research. Since its discovery, the collection has already inspired numerous groundbreaking projects in various fields of study and many countries around the globe.

In this online lecture series of the Prize Papers LUNCH TALKS, we will hear seven short lectures from some of the leading experts on and pioneers of working with the collection and discuss with them about their most recent work. The lecture series aims at bringing together renowned scholars, international early-career researchers, master’s students as well as the interested public to discuss with us in a relaxed setting - over lunch.

The Prize Papers LUNCH TALKS will take place between November 23, 2020, and February 15, 2021, every other Monday, at 1-2 pm (CET).

The event is open to the public, with advance registration requested.

Links to the meeting rooms via the user-friendly platform BigBlueButton will be provided after registration. Please contact lucas.haasis@uni-oldenburg.de to subscribe to the mailing list and for registration.
