Please plan your talk to last for 20 minutes, including at least a 5 minutes long introduction. After the presentation, there will be 10 minutes for discussion. Please bring your presentation on a USB device.
Each presentation is preceded by a short introduction (5 minutes) of the topic/presenter by the supervisor/PI
1 ECTS (10 attended seminars) + 1 ECTS from own presentation.
Note! You do not need to attend seminars within one year. In order to get the credits from your own presentation, you need to attend 10 seminars.
Contact persons for the spring period are Petri Mäkelä (ATG) and Saija Piiroinen (CAN-PRO).
