Events

BVI’s annual lectures and regular seminars showcase the interdisciplinary nature of its work to a wide audience to promote understanding of the visual mechanisms and processes evolved in humans and other animals, and their translation to innovations in technology, medicine and the creative arts.

Events overview

BVI Seminar Series
BVI Seminars are free hour-long talks focusing on a particular area of vision research usually with an interdisciplinary flavour. They are delivered by national and international speakers from across the world with a broad appeal across the field of vision.

Seminars are held on alternate Fridays during term time from 4pm-5pm.
Vision Researchers Colloquium
An annual event led by BVI, in partnership with the GW4 Alliance. It brings together vision researchers from the University of Bath, University of Bristol, Cardiff University and University of Exeter from a wide range of disciplines, encompassing Vision Science and Engineering.

Cardiff University hosted the 2022 event. Each colloquium provides an opportunity for postgraduate students, postdoctoral research associates and others at an equivalent early career stage to present their work and obtain valuable feedback in an informal conference environment. It usually takes place in July.
Richard Gregory Memorial Lecture
Bristol Vision Institute celebrates the work and life of Professor Richard Gregory through an annual public lecture in his memory.

Due to lockdown, this annual event has not taken place for the past couple of years. However, we are hoping to hold this again in 2023.
