Schedule!

Schedule for a talk in the group

Feel free to choose your favourite medium/style for presenting your work. However for giving the talk:

  • we meet at 1100 (hopefully in person) and also in zoom (link is in the calendar hybrid format)
  • assume that the audience is totally unaware of your project so choose the topic carefully
  • the timeframe is 30 mins so spilt the time according to your choice but do not overrun
  • if interesting questions or answers emerge during the talk make sure to keep them short given the time frame, one can then get back to the person after the meeting: getting feedback, help and developing connections is definitely the point.
  • Talks can be on different categories, such as: Own Research (OwR), Others Research (OtR), Journal Club (JC), Soft Skills (SSk), Cross-Projects (CPr), Future Planning (FP).
