Graduate Seminar Series

The Graduate Seminar Series is a forum for ICSA Ph.D. students to present their research. It is held at 13:00 (until 13:45) on Thursday afternoons during term time. The normal location is the Informatics Forum, Room G07a. Seminars Academic Organiser Bjoern Franke.

Prompts about forthcoming seminars are e-mailed regularly to ICSA members, and are posted on the eduni.dcs.icsa newsgroup. Anyone outside ICSA who wishes to receive this regular e-mail should mail the ICSA secretary, and ask to be added to the mailing list.
