2008/9 Research Seminars
From MAD Wiki
This is the full programme for 2008/2009.
We are in the process of drawing up the programme for the Research Seminars for 2009/2010 [[1]]. We hope that the format will be the same as tis year's programme (i.e. Wednesdays 1.00 pm in A107 with a sandwich lunch). We hope to have approximately eight external speakers, complemented a range of internal speakers. We have already have some excellent suggestions for speakers. However, if you have a suggestion for a speaker or would like to give a presentation on your latest work then please feel free to add them to the bottom of this page or get in contact with either Alexis Weedon or Gavin Stewart.
