Arché-CSMN Work-in-Progress Seminars

This seminar series brings together researchers and postgraduate students of all levels from Arché and CSMN to present and discuss their current work, and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between the two partner centres. It takes place by live video link between St Andrews and Oslo. The topics will come from the research projects of the two centres.

It will be held roughly fortnightly as follows:

Date and time: Approximately every other Monday 2:30 - 4:30 (Note new day and time for Spring Semester 2010)
Venue: Undervisningsrom 4, Georg Sverdrups hus (the Library building), UiO Blindern

Anyone interested in the topic of the paper discussed in the week is welcome to come along, and all CSMN researchers, affiliates, postdocs, graduate students and visitors are encouraged to present their works. Please contact the organizer, Timothy Chan (t.h.w.chan@ifikk.uio.no), if you would like to present a talk, or be added to the seminar mailing list.
