Friday Talk at Faculty of Engineering

Friday Talks: Science, Innovation and Education at the Faculty of Engineering

Learn about important and relevant topics in research, innovation, and education, presented by colleagues at the faculty.

This spring the Talks will be categorized in Research, Innovation and Education.
See the program for the spring 2024 below. This will be updated continuously.

Audience:

For employees and students at the Faculty of Engineering, and for others who find the topic interesting.

About:

The purpose of this webinar series is to stimulate academic and free discussions on important topics in research, innovation and education, and also to provide a team- and culture-building arena at the IV Faculty.

When: Fridays 08.30-09.00 (except holidays, summer vacation, cramped days).
Where: Teams

We encourage all the departments at the faculty to report contributions (topic, speaker and time) through their representative in the IV Research Committee.

The format

  • 20 minutes talk, 10 minutes for questions/discussions
  • Presentations in English, no recording, no distribution of presentations

The contributions

  • Low threshold and the possibility to reuse presentations
  • Relevant and interesting research, education, projects and innovations
  • Talks on challenges and future research (e.g. sustainability, digitalization, innovation and interdisciplinarity)
