Venue: PSC Lecture Theatre

Fairly informal, internal talk series

Internal seminar series which meets approximately three times per term. This is a fairly informal programme in which staff and research students are encouraged to present their current work and to exchange ideas.

Two talks are held at each meeting, each of up to 25 minutes followed by 5 minutes for questions. Meetings occur on a Thursday starting at 12.00 in the PSC lecture theatre unless otherwise specified.
