WA Friday Lectures (now called WA Friday Lunch Talks) are monthly meetings with presentations of current research results or research in progress by WA faculty, staff, or PhD students. They are usually held in room 316A on Fridays at 1:30 PM. Each talk is of 30 minutes (+ 10 minutes for discussion).
The current listing of talk titles (and short summaries) is available here.
WA Friday lectures archive is available here.
Some guidelines for presenters (as of April 2013):
1. The speakers / presenters are required to announce and advertise their talks on our TV screens from Monday to Friday of the week when their presentations are scheduled. Documentation and guidelines are on the downloads for staff page (password or web leader access required).
2. The speakers are responsible for making sure their presentations run smoothly; any technical difficulties should be reported to the technical personnel before the day of the lecture.
3. The chairperson of the lectures introduces the speakers and presents their current research interests / scholarly background; it is thus vital that the presenters keep their personal pages on the WA website up to date. A printed summary of the main details is recommended for the chairperson's convenience.
