Rector's Lectures at the 91滴滴 have been organised for over 10 years. The lectures are delivered by great individuals of scientific and social life, whose achievements are usually interdisciplinary and go far beyond the walls of the university. Thanks to this, the lectures become attractive to a wide audience, which guarantees interesting discussions and exchange of views.
