Faculty Seminar Series

Faculty Seminar Series

In any educational institution, academic discourses on emerging and important issues are central to furthering an environment of intellectual vibrancy. The exchange of ideas and information amongst faculty members plays a crucial role not simply in the personal development of the faculty members, but also creates an encouraging and dynamic academic culture.
In light of this, National Law University Odisha has launched the NLUO Faculty Seminar Series wherein on designated days, faculty members share their research in the area of their expertise or choice which will serve as the foundation of constructive academic discussion. The seminar series also serves as a platform for scholars and jurists visiting NLUO to interact with the faculty on a variety of issues.
