About a week in advance I will require a title and abstract (one short paragraph) to distribute it to everyone.
- 10-15 minutes presentation
- You should talk about your own work, or some interesting branch of science that you might consider exploring
- Projector and laptop will be provided
Remember that the presentation should be accessible to people outside of your research area.
thank you

Dear MACS CS students and staff
CALENDAR AND DATES
I am excited to begin this years PhD seminars, all the necessary details are on the website below (including calendar and instructions on how to subscribe to the calendar with gmail, iCal etc)
http://macscsphdseminars.blogspot.com/
MOVING DATES
I am also including first few weeks worth of dates. This Year we will begin with 2nd year students as they usually already have some presentations ready and it will be easier for them to go first. leter on we will have 1st years, who might get inspired by first group of presenters. Finally 3rd and onward years will be announced at a later date.
If you desire to change a date for whatever reason, just et me know.

Preparations
To all Computer Science PhD students (CC: Computer Science Academics)
This email explains how we will approach weekly short talks of PhD students this year.
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT:
As most of you know every year each PhD student is expected to give a short 15 minute presentation about our research.
It is crucial that we know how to describe to a mixed audience (of people both from your are and not) what you are doing.
This is why this year we will start those PhD seminars around mid-February and we will be having 3 speakers on each Thursday afternoon.

Tea, coffee, and biscuits, will be provided.
This is a mandatory part of the training in research CS gives its PhD students and your participation is a requirement.

WHAT COULD BE IN YOUR PRESENTATION:
Most of us have some presentations laying around from a conference we've been to, or some progress review meeting. You can simply change that presentation to suit 15 minute format. If you not have any presentations at all, then probably you should make one, and this is a perfect opportunity for you.

Your supervisor will support you in doing this if you are not sure what to put into it.
WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR:
this year I will invite people who teach presenting to attend those seminars and give us some constructive useful feedback. These seminars will be also advertised on the Learning Zone (ex-crash area) Screens, so undergrads will be invited to attend.
SUGGESTIONS?
If you have any suggestions on how these seminars should be run, please let me know.
Maybe you would prefer the presentations to be grouped by topic? Or rather not?
Please have a think about what you will be presenting and if you have any date preferences.
Email with suggested dates will be distributed shortly.
