Invited Ferrier Lecturers, who are recognised internationally in chemistry or a related field, are brought to New Zealand to lecture and engage with postgraduate students. The Ferrier Lecture is given at Victoria University of Wellington and at Universities across New Zealand each year in honour of the late Professor Robin Ferrier. It was Robin Ferrier’s particular belief that young chemists could benefit greatly from mixing with leaders in their field.
