Research Talks Agenda

Please find the agenda for the research talks below.

The talks should be 12mins and we will have ~3mins for questions after each talk.

There will be prizes for the best talks each week.

Location will be Collingwood College.

We will know more about the logistics of sharing your slides once we are on-campus.
