We hold numerous work-related and social events during the year, encouraging members of the WMS community to take time out of their day to get to know their colleagues, build relationships and develop a sense of collegiality without relying on social activities outside of core working hours.

Current activities

• Gameshow Jamboree

  Our annual Gameshow Jamboree sees teams of staff and students come together to go head to head in a series of quizzes based on the format of popular TV gameshows.

• Leading Lights Lectures

  Professors within WMS are given the opportunity to give a lecture on their research for anyone from the school who wants to attend, as well as their own friends and family members. These popular lectures are currently being delivered online and are a great way for other members of the WMS community to get to learn about research being conducted in the school and chat to those involved.
