The seventh series of KESS seminars has now ended. Videos, policy briefings and presentations are available for each seminar. The programme for Series 8 and registration details will be forthcoming.
Seminars are free and are held on Wednesdays, normally from October through June. (When necessary, due to political circumstances, KESS may start its annual programme later in the year.) Each seminar starts at 1.30pm in Parliament Buildings, located on Stormont Estate.
When attending KESS, please note that Parliament Buildings is a public building, and there may be photography, filming and recording in its public spaces. Only the academics presenting at KESS are filmed when making their presentations. Reserved seating can be provided away from the camera when requested by attendees.
Most seminars cover a range of themes under one broad heading – see programme for relevant dates and timings. On arrival, delegates receive a seminar pack that includes the academics’ policy briefings and PowerPoint presentations, amongst other information.
Tea/coffee is provided following presentations and discussion. Free parking is available to all. Kindly allow time to pass through Assembly Security upon entry to Parliament Buildings; and ensure that you specify your special needs (for example, wheelchair accessibility) when registering. The Assembly is committed to fulfilling its equality-related roles and responsibilities and will take reasonable efforts to meet requests relating to them.
