Robotics and Autonomous Systems Seminars

This series will include seminars hosted by the CDT in Robotics and Autonomous Systems alongside seminars selected from existing programmes from within the School of Informatics. Academic seminars will feature prestigious UK, European and overseas speakers, exposing students to internationally leading research. Students will have the opportunity to meet individually with speakers to ask informal questions and discuss their own research. Robotics and Autonomous Systems seminars will be announced via an email list, which all CDT RAS students will be members of.

School of Informatics Seminar Programmes

The institutes within the School of Informatics, as well as related departments, hold frequent events and seminars. These will likely be of interest to CDT in Data Science students and you are encouraged to attend these. The following information is intended to give students an overview of some of the events that might be of interest. Students are advised to check the relevant web pages for up-to-date information as times and dates may vary. Most of these seminars and events have mailing lists for which students can request membership. Even when the topic of a seminar is not situated directly within a student's field, the seminars should give students valuable opportunities to interact with academics and students from other research areas, other institutes and other universities, which will help in formulating ideas. All institutes within the School of Informatics hold seminar programmes. For information, please see the respective institute web sites, accessible through http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/research.
