University of Moratuwa’s recently initiated Inaugural Lecture Series brings out the 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.

The inaugural lecture represents a significant milestone in a university academic’s career when one observes the practice elsewhere. The event celebrates their promotion to the rank of Professor or other Professorship at the university. University of Moratuwa, Faculty of Graduate Studies is hosting the event as a public event. 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 ninth lecture in the series is by Professor Sanja Gunawardena of Department of Chemical and Process Engineering and she will speak on ‘Biofuels: Challenges and Prospects in Sri Lanka’ on 25 August at 3 p.m.

Faculty of Graduate Studies of University of Moratuwa acknowledges Virtusa the event sponsor, Daily FT the print sponsor and Sri Lankan Scientist the social media sponsor.
