INSIGHTS Public Lectures
Welcome to the INSIGHTS Public Lectures website. Public lectures at Newcastle University are free and open to all.
Our aim is to offer a programme that will inform, stimulate, entertain, and excite debate. Many of our speakers are leaders in their field and all have something of special interest to convey. Our lectures cover a wide range of disciplines and frequently include key contemporary issues, particularly those that affect our daily lives. Please note that for some lectures it is necessary to reserve a place in advance.
Recordings of lectures
Many of our lectures are also available to download from our archive. Recordings of lectures are also available from Newcastle University's iTunes U page.
Important note: access to the Herschel Building
Please note that due to ongoing construction work, there is currently no access to the University campus from Percy Street. Recommended alternative routes to the Herschel Building from Haymarket are via the St Thomas’ Street entrance to campus (close to the junction with Queen Victoria Road), or along King’s Walk, off Barras Bridge.
