Schlumberger has enthusiastically agreed to support the Department by initiating the Schlumberger Lecture and Schlumberger Visiting Professor programme.
The Schlumberger Lecture will be held in conjunction with an event organised by the Department's postgraduate students. The speaker will be a leading scientist selected by an advisory committee of PhD students, postdocs, academics and representatives from Schlumberger.
A second distinguished academic scientist will be identified as the Schlumberger Visiting Professor, and will stay in the Chemistry Department for up to three months, to present lectures, discuss research, and collaborate with department research groups and Schlumberger Gould Research.
The Schlumberger Lecture and Schlumberger Visiting Professor programmes are proposed initially for the 2014-15 academic year.
