research student seminar 2010

Thursday 28 October

The purpose of this seminar is to enable research students to share their work and to defend aspects of that work in front of a wider audience. All those researching aspects of technology have been invited to present but anyone is welcome to attend – though do let me know as we may have to move rooms. The event will be held in the small room next to MM1 in multi media centre. If presenting you have 15 minutes to talk through your work. This is not long so try to focus in on a single topic rather than simply describe your research – you can use this page to link to an eportfolio or blog if people want descriptions of your work in advance. Bring hand outs but PowerPoint presentation are not expected.

The programme is provisionally as follow – please let me know if this is going to suit (you have edit rights if you are presenting!). Further colleagues are invited – if numbers grow we can divide into two groups. Each session is 15 minutes explaining / presenting 10 minutes discussion, 5 minutes refresh.
