This page gives information on the John Adams Institute Seminar Series. The seminars are usually held on Thursday afternoons, during term time, in one of several locations including the Dennis Sciama Lecture Theatre, Denys Wilkinson Building, Keble Road, Oxford and Daresbury Laboratory, Daresbury, Warrington.

Due to public-health concerns around the Covid-19 pandemic, the seminars will be held online via Zoom until further notice.

For Michaelmas term 2022 the JAI have helped to organise the UK accelerator physics institutes seminar series.

The details of which can be found on the seminar series Indico page.
