Sussex Days

In February 2002, HSP Sussex convened the first in a new series of meetings known as Sussex Days to take advantage of the growing number of people in and around the University of Sussex who have a research or professional interest in CBW affairs. Since then, Sussex Days have become a regular feature of HSP's outreach activities and are widely attended by a range of professionals and students within the CBW field.

Each meeting involves a formal presentation in the morning, followed by further discussion of related issues after lunch. Sussex Days are by invitation only and invitees usually comprise research students, researchers, academics, activists and government officials.
