CS Forum (Arranging guest lectures)

Overview

(T-61.6900 "Individual studies")

The CS forum talks are primarily intended for presentations of visiting doctoral level researchers. The standard time slot is on Thursdays 14:15-15:00, but talks on other times can be arranged. The forum will also typically include coffee, served from 14:00. Funding for visitors' expenses will need to be arranged separately, such as from research grants or viva defence expenditure.

Reserving a time for a talk

To reserve a time for a talk and to advertise it, please contact the CS forum coordinator (csforum-cs-sci@aalto.fi). Please send the coordinator the following information (preferably a week before talk at the latest, so that there is time to advertise the talk):   

• the title of the talk,  

• the title, name, and affiliation of the speaker (and optionally biographical information about the speaker, and a photo of the speaker, if available),  

• the abstract of the talk (not obligatory but highly recommended for marketing purposes; otherwise add a note that no abstract will be provided),  

• the preferred time, place and duration of the talk  

• possible further marketing material such as  
  • related web links,  
  • who the speaker is visiting at the department and whether the speaker will be available for discussion,  
  • which research groups might find the talk particularly interesting,  
  • which group of students might find the talk particularly interesting (e.g. talk related to a course), and  
• whether the coordinator's assistance is needed for any practical arrangements (such as lecture hall reservations, hosting, or help with the presentation equipment)

Additional notes

• There is a laser pointer (and a portable microphone for lecture hall T1) available for loan at the CS building janitors' office.  
• There is a USB port for the desktop computer (for memory sticks) on the desk of each of the main lecture halls.
