The Mirrors of Versailles: War & Peace in 1919 Paris
2019-11-11 18:30 | Edith Morley, Room G27
Dr Liliana Riga (University of Edinburgh) and Professor Jack E. Spence, OBE (King’s College, London)
The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 marks a key moment in the attempt to create a peaceful international society in which men and women would live their own lives in safety and freedom from coercion. In this celebration of one hundred years since the Treaty of Versailles, which aspired to put an end to the ‘war that would end all wars’, we consider the ideals and realities which were negotiated during the six months in Paris that changed the world.

Alumni Lecture: Making Architecture, Making Communities
2019-11-13 18:30 - 20:00 | Henley Business School, Room G11, Henley Business School, Whiteknights Campus, Reading, RG6 6UR, United Kingdom
Award winning architect, broadcaster and academic, Piers Taylor, will join us to discuss how architecture can bring about transformations in people and places, and how ‘making’ can be a vehicle for participation. Piers will explore 20 years of practice, showing work that ranges from projects for schools in the most deprived communities in the UK, to more recent work at the National Arboretum that presents a model of how communities can do things for themselves. Piers will also be talking about how strong links between academia and practice are essential for architecture and education to thrive.
Admission free, but booking essential.

LMS/IMA Joint Meeting - Mathematics of Planet Earth
2019-11-21 | Meadow Suite, Park House, Meadow Suite, Park House, RG6 6UR, United Kingdom
The University of Reading is hosting the LMA-IMA (London Mathematics Society and Institute of Mathematics and its Applications) Joint Meeting, this year themed on the Mathematics of Planet Earth. Further information:
Following the international programme MPE2013, the research agenda of Mathematics of Planet Earth has gained more and more relevance within Mathematics as well as at the interface(s) between Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, and, obviously, Geosciences. But, indeed, related interdisciplinary exchanges have already a long of success in areas such as fractal geometry, chaos theory, stochastic and deterministic dynamical systems, partial differential equations, numerics, and extreme value theory, among others. The goal of this joint LMS-IMA meeting is to showcase some recent developments in pure and applied mathematics that contribute to a better understanding of the Planet Earth. Please note that this meeting is free to attend, however the Conference Dinner is an additional £40.
