Introduction

About

A seminar series by and for HDR students at the Clayton School of Information Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University, Australia

The Clayton HDR postgrad lunchtime siminars is a series of weekly lunch-time semi-formal seminars at the Clayton School of Information Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University, Australia, particularly for HDR students, supported by the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) and the Clayton School of Information Technology (ClSIT).



Objectives

The seminar series has the following objectives.

  • To socialise with other HDR students, and to get to know each other
  • To discuss research ideas or research problems encountered
  • To share research experiences
  • To establish research collaborations


Guidelines

The seminar series has the following format.

  • The Clayton HDR lunchtime seminar series, supported by the  Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) and the Clayton School of Information Technology (ClSIT), is a series of weekly meetings organised by and for HDR students. They are occasions for HDR students to meet with each other, to have lunch together, to socialise, to share ideas, and to discuss respective research interests.
  • We, the HDR students, take turns in hosting the event of a week. The host leads the event by presenting or discussing something they are interested in. This could be rather informal, as, for instance, an informal talk about the host's research, an interesting problem, an article they have seen, or problems they are encountering. It could also be a formal presentation, for instance, a rehearsal for a conference or a confirmation seminar.
  • Every HDR student will act as the host of a seminar once in a while, with the option to volunteer for a particular date. This website functions as a list for this purpose. Occasionally, academic staff or a visitor will be invited to host the event.
  • The committee is responsible for coordinating the events. We welcome other HDR students to join and to help the committee organise the series. Comments and suggestions to make the series better suit our needs are greatly appreciated at any point in time.
