Research into Industry Seminar Series

The School of Computing Research into Industry Seminar Series offers extra-curricular sessions that relate what we do (research-led computer science) to the destinations of our graduates (predominantly commerce and industry). All staff, postgraduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to attend.

A further programme of seminars will commence in October 2008 with speakers from Google, Zoo Digital Group and IBM.
