Wrexham Talks Research

Welcome to Wrexham Talks Research

We’re excited to share our 2025/2026 programme of Wrexham Talks Research — a series of free public lectures showcasing the rich variety of research happening at Wrexham University. 

The public lectures are on-campus evening lectures run by the Research Office and are open to all. Take a moment to enjoy some complimentary food and refreshments whilst networking with attendees and speakers beforehand, then sit back and enjoy the talks delivered by our researchers, introduced by a Chair, and followed by audience questions.

The purpose of the lectures is to invite discussion and debate in a variety of thought-provoking subject areas. We pride ourselves on applied research, Research that transforms, research that impacts the local community and the wider world, and we want to share this with you in an accessible way.

Public Lectures are nothing without an audience, so we look forward to welcoming your fresh perspectives on our research. Look at our schedule and book your place on Eventbrite using the links or QR codes. And if you can’t make a talk, we will be recording the session for you to watch online shortly after the event. 

Please note that whilst the lectures are free to attend, tickets must be booked in advance. Please see each event listing for full details, including location, timings and how to book your place. Watch back our past lectures
