Current Seminar Program

The 2007 seminar series will include further talks from experts within the WUN network in the field. There will also be 2 workshops which will give PhD students around the network an opportunity to discuss their own work with other students and leading figures in the field.

This series will use the Marratech™ facility to enable participants to access talks directly from their personal computers. You will therefore need to download Marratech™ to view these seminars.

The Marratech™ website is at: www.marratech.com.

If you have not used Marratech™ before, you should take some time to browse the website, and read carefully through our guide to accessing seminars in plenty of time before your first session as you will need to familiarise yourself with the technology.

This technology is by no means onerous, however, and we expect that it will make it easier for more people to join in with the sessions.

Seminars will normally take place on Mondays at 5pm UK time, 11am in UIUC and Madison. Please note that the February 19th seminar will be at 3pm in UK, 9am in UIUC and Madison

If you wish to attend any of these seminars, send an email requesting the correct URL which you will need in order to log onto the system each time.
