"This year-long programme of events celebrates the history of humanities at Imperial, 70 years after the visionary Touchstone Weekends at Silwood Park. But we also look at the future, reflecting on the importance of humanities and the arts in a STEMM education in the 21st century, on their contribution to the cultural and intellectual life of College and their role in building a cross-cultural community of staff and students."

Professor Roberto Trotta, Director, Centre for Languages, Culture and Communication
