Dr Anders Persson, Director of the Centre or Medical Imaging Science and Visualisation (CMIV) at the University Hospital Linköping, Sweden will give the Combined Royal Colleges Lecture this year. A winner of the Combined Royal Colleges Award in 2013 and also the overall winner of the recent Wellcome Image Awards, it is a rare treat to hear Dr Persson speak in London.

Dr Persson's work at CMIV has been a major influence and continues to provide input to the work that has followed with the Inside Explorer touch table, which has been used to communicate diverse subjects in museums and science centres around the world. These range from the human body to Egyptian mummies and remarkable subjects from the world of natural history. Many examples can be found here.

The event will be held at the Royal Photographic Society. Details are as follows. Admission is free, but booking required.
