Section outline

  • All researchers (both junior and senior) of the research group are expected to approximately give one seminar talk per year. All talks should be an enjoyable learning experience to all members of the research group. In particular, a good motivating discussion is an essential ingredient. A talk does not have to be based on your own recent research paper, a presentation about methods or theory developed by other researchers can be a suitable topic for a seminar talk.

    All researchers (both junior and senior) of the research group are expected to attend each talk of the seminar.

    It is the responsibility of the host of an external speaker to explain the nature of the seminar to the speaker, in particular to explain what audience the speaker should expect.  It is also the responsibility of the host of an external speaker to make sure that title and abstract are sent to the seminar organizer at least two weeks prior to the talk. Hosts of potential speaker should consult with the seminar organizer before inviting guests with the ambition to give a seminar talk. A standardized letter that can be submitted to external speakers, informing them about the matstat seminar can be found below (TBW).
