Referee or Robot - Can Technology Make Sport Fair?

In this year’s STEM Christmas Lecture, we will explore the different uses of technology across a variety of sports - taking a deep dive into what they are, how they work, and whether they level the playing field. Key interactive moments will include watching controversial video clips and letting the audience decide the outcome, holding a debate with delegates about whether robots have any place in sport in the future, and a fun ‘true or false’ quiz at the end.

This talk is open to students and members of the public.

The lecture will start at 1pm (doors open from 12.30pm)
