The University of Moratuwa’s recently initiated Inaugural Lecture Series brings out newly-appointed professors to the public view.

The objective is to communicate and inspire with their research and societal impact with of course the intention of generating more interaction and positive connectivity.

An Inaugural Lecture represents a significant milestone in a university academics career when one observes the practice elsewhere. The event celebrates their promotion to the rank of professor or other professorship at the university.

The University of Moratuwa’s Faculty of Graduate Studies is hosting the event as a public event with the current restrictions in place as a hybrid event. Anyone who is interested can join in and celebrate a career in research as one prepares for even more contribution subsequently. The Inaugural Lecture will offer both in-person and virtual access through Zoom and Facebook Live.

The second lecture in the series is by Professor Jagath Munasinghe of the Department of Town and Country Planning and he will speak on ‘The Making and the Unmaking of National Physical Plan 2050’. The lecture will be on 20 May at 4 p.m. The Zoom link is https://learn.zoom.us/j/64966902760?pwd=QUR4a1ZuUWZ3c3NaeGtPc0xCYXcrdz09, the meeting ID is 649 6690 2760 and passcode is 2nd#lcUoM.
