Celebrating Spaces: Connecting Researchers

Celebrating Spaces: Connecting Researchers is an internal open day which brings together the research community at York.

We want to showcase, explore, and enjoy the wide range of research carried out at our institution, the people who make it happen, and the unique spaces that facilitate that research.

This year's Celebrating Spaces: Connecting Researchers will take place on 3 July 2025.
