Seminars / Conferences
CBAS meetings (2011-12) run from 1430-1600 and each explores one of the seven CBAS research themes. The first hour includes two or three ten minute talks with the rest of the hour for discussion so we get to know about each others research (past/present/future). This is followed by half an hour of more general discussion on possible future collaborations (writing, conferences, proposals, teaching and so on).
The meetings are open to all staff and PhD students in our Department, and associated staff and research students from elsewhere in Brunel.
