Talks 2017

OPG Seminars 2017

We are actively looking for people who wish to give talks, or to volunteer others to give talks to the group, either from within or from external institutions. This gives participants a good opportunity to present their work, which could lead to collaboration with others in the group as well as gaining valuable feedback from members.

Seminars can be given as either a Short Talk (10-20 minutes) or Standard Talk (25-45 minutes).
