PhD Student Seminars

The purpose of the PhD student seminars is to give an overview of the different research areas at the IT department and to give PhD students an opportunity to present their research in an informal setting. It is also a forum to get to know PhD students from other sub departments.

The seminars will be a continuously ongoing event, and everyone is very welcome to attend.

Free sandwiches and soft drinks will be served after the seminars.

Note that the schedule will be continuously updated during the term. Upcoming seminars will also be announced in LäsIT.

Each seminar consists of two 20 minute presentations + feedback followed by further discussion/questions. The presentations are given on a popular science level so that everyone can follow them.

If you want to give a talk on a specific date, please send an email to Magnus Gustafsson or talk to any of the other coordinators (see below).

Credit points

For giving one seminar talk and attending at least four additional seminars (or eight presentations), 2 credit points (hp) will be registered for your PhD degree.
