NDARC Seminar Series
The NDARC Seminar Series includes an invited seminar series on a monthly basis, alternating with in-house seminars.
The invited seminar series is an effective way of disseminating the results of current projects conducted by both NDARC staff and other organizations. Over the years, these seminars have also attracted a number of overseas speakers.
The in-house seminars are intended as informal presentations of on-going research projects with a view to obtaining feedback on progress and also as a means of keeping NDARC staff informed of the activities of their colleagues.
In 2008 the NDARC Invited Seminar Series will take place in the Lecture Theatre at NDARC between 4.00pm and 5.00pm. Outside visitors are welcome but we do recommend you contact NDARC Reception to confirm the details of the presentation, as changes to the schedule may occur.
