Staff Seminars

Short Courses
  • The aim of the seminars is to give staff and students more insight into the diverse research being conducted in teh department, and to provide a forum in which to share ideas, discuss research problems and learn new skills.
  • It is import that presenters keep their seminars as informal as possible to ensure they are interactive and will instigate discussion.  Suggestions for seminars include:

An update on the latest developments in a current research project.

A tutorial sharing some expertise or skill which can be used in other projects. e.g. a tutorial on data mining or using a new software package.

Explanation of a specific problem(s) encountered in a project to get ideas on how it/they can be tackled.

Journal paper assessment. e.g. Summarise a seminal or recent high impact publication from your field before opening up the forum for discussion.

  • Presentations should last no longer than 30 - 40 minutes (uniterrupted).  This will allow much of the seminar to focus on questions and discussion.
  • Seminars may be followed by a short (5 minute) tips and tricks session given by a member of the department.
  • Seminars will be given by: Crime Science PhD students, RA's, Lecturers and SECReT PhD students remaining in the department.
  • The seminars will be held at lunchtime on Tuesdays (unless re-scheduling is necessary) in the teaching room.
  • As it is an informal lunchtime seminar; sandwiches, drinks and crisps may be brought along (but please try and keep rustling noises to a minimum!).
  • Presenters should send an email reminder to the department a few days in advance of the seminar detailing its title, start time and location.
  • Presenters are responsible for emailing a copy of their presentation to Catherine Wheatcroft (c.wheatcroft@ucl.ac.uk).
  • Please inform Kevin Chetty is you are unavailable on your seminar date, or have swapped with someone else.
