---
This term we are interleaving seminars with the CAMS-Oxford Institute Seminar (COI seminar) which will run on alternate Tuesdays - these are also listed in the timetable below. Please note the COI seminars start at the earlier time of 09:30, while Data Forum talks start at 10:00.
WHG Data Forum & coffee morning
The connect@WHG Data Forum is back! The forum is a short & informal slice of science that is held just before the WHG Coffee Morning on Tuesday mornings, and aims to promote networking and collaboration within the centre. As the name suggests, the emphasis is on 'dealing with data', but in a broad sense that includes new technologies, analysis methods and recent research with contributions from research groups inside and outside the centre.
We aim to make the Data Forum inclusive, entertaining and informative with a variety of talks and formats, and we especially promote to discussion and networking after the talks... which often follow on into the coffee mornings. Please join us for any/all of the sessions and we look forward to seeing you there!
If you are interested in presenting or chairing a session or have an idea to discuss, please contact Gavin Band (gavin.band@well.ox.ac.uk) and Helen Lockstone (helen.lockstone@well.ox.ac.uk)
All Data Forum sessions at 10:00-10:30 in Room A / Room B - in person!
The table below also lists COI seminars which typically run 9:30-10:30.
Upcoming seminars will also be announced via email and at the top of this page.
