Monday June 10 2013

The Elisabeth Mann Borgese Ocean Lecture Series commemorates and celebrates the life and work of Elisabeth Mann Borgese, founder of the International Ocean Institute and its interdisciplinary training programmes. This public lecture series was launched in 2005 to mark the 25th anniversary of the IOI Training Programme in Halifax. The objective is to further encourage the debate on oceans issues which was so dear to Elisabeth, by inviting internationally renowned speakers to discuss important and timely ocean-related topics. Through this lecture series, we hope to generate awareness among stakeholders, academics, students and the general public about important ocean issues.

We are delighted to announce that the 2013 EMB LECTURE on COMMUNICATING THE OCEANS, an illustrated presentation, will be delivered by NIKOLAUS GELPKE at 7.00 p.m. MONDAY 10th JUNE in Room 105, Weldon Law Building, Dalhousie University.  A reception will follow.
