CFS-LFC Lectures - Archives
Since the 2018-2019 season, the lectures are broadcast regionally by WebEx. Unless otherwise specified, all lectures are recorded.
The quality of the recording is not as good for some conferences in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, but the excellence of the content will make it tolerable!
