Emmanouil Karteris: A journey through academia in pursuit of my Ithaka (Inaugural Lecture)

As part of our 60th Anniversary celebrations, we are thrilled to welcome you to our new series of Inaugural Lectures. The second event in this series will be Professor Emmanouil Karteris.

The Odyssey as an academic journey captures higher education, research, and academic life as a transformative voyage, inspired by C.P. Cavafy’s Ithaka, where the wisdom and experiences gained along the way matter more than the final destination.

Professor Karteris hopes you will join him for a drinks reception after the lecture.

What is an Inaugural Lecture?

An Inaugural Lecture marks a significant milestone in any academic career. Join us as we celebrate the extraordinary careers and research excellence of our academic colleagues, recently joined or promoted to Professor.

In these special open lectures, our professors welcome family, friends, colleagues and members of the public for a memorable evening unpacking their research expertise and offering insights from their career journey.

The Inaugural Lecture Series showcases a wide range of subjects and professorial expertise. These beacons of Brunel’s research community are leaders in their wider field, presenting their expertise, free and open to all.

All ages are welcome - we request that those under 18 are accompanied by an adult.
