Research Seminars

To further research and development initiatives within Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, a programme of Research Seminars are held on Wednesday afternoons at 2.15pm during term time. These seminars give visiting speakers from other departments within the University, other UK and foreign Universities (within budget limits), as well as industry the opportunity to come and talk about their current research work and future plans. Such an exchange of information is valuable as it helps academic and research staff in this department to be informed of current developments as well as providing the catalyst for potential joint research activities.

Any member of the Departmental Staff can suggest potential speakers for the seminar programme. It is suggested that those wishing to invite a speaker make first contact with him or her, to confirm their willingness to participate, before forwarding the speaker's contact details to the seminar coordinator. If you want to invite a speaker, please follow the guidelines link for more information. A seminar form is available for this purpose here. A limited budget is available to assist with speaker's traveling expenses as well as provide appropriate hospitality. It is unlikely that traveling expenses greater than £250 will be paid without prior approval of the seminar coordinator.

An updated list of all speakers scheduled for the next two terms is maintained online following the links below:
