Gilbert White Network Events

As the Gilbert White Network develops, we intend to organaise occasional lectures and seminars, which might be either in person or online. We plan to hold the first such event in 2026, and details will be published here when they are available.

This page will carry information about network events. If you are organising an event which you think would be of interest to the Gilbert White Network, please get in touch so that we can circulate details to the network by email.
