We are delighted to announce that OpenMinds: Talks from The Open University will launch in January 2015 to showcase the University’s thought leadership in learning and teaching and the application of research to policy and practice across the UK.
The OpenMinds Talks will bring cutting-edge research and developments to both physical events in the OU’s Berrill Lecture and through live video streaming, providing a platform for those who watch or attend to engage with leading academics and respected figures within specific research fields.
