Webinar series
CISMAC will establish monthly webinars for CISMAC researchers where junior and senior scientists can discuss useful topics.
Main content
The current plan is to alternate meetings dedicated to a selected topic of general interest and meetings with presentation of a PhD proposal or work in progress. We think such webinars can contribute to strengthening the links between the partner institutions and may eventually lead to conceptualization of new research projects in which CISMAC partners can collaborate even more closely.
听We will aim to have the webinars on the first Wednesday of every month, with the exception of that in January, which will be on the 17th听January 2018. The time will be 10:00-11:30 UTC/11:00-12:30 Central European Winter Time/12:00-1330 Central European Summer time. We will use Adobe Connect for the webinars and the link for these meetings is:听

When opportunities for particularly interesting talks/seminars suitable for Adobe connect-based presentations arise, we may change the schedule accordingly. Needless to say, such changes will be made in agreement with the presenters of scheduled webinars and will be announced as early as possible, and no later than two weeks prior to a specifically scheduled webinar.
If you have ideas for topics that could be of general interest to CISMAC researchers, please write to听ane.straume@uib.no听and听Ingvild.sandoy@uib.no. PhD and postdocs who would like to present and get feedback on aspects of their work in one of the webinars in the second half of 2018 should write to Ane Straume and Ingvild Sand酶y as soon as possible. We will give people the opportunity to present on a 鈥榝irst come, first served鈥� basis.
Please help us spread this information about the webinars with other members of your research team.
