Final Year Project Presentations, 21 February 2013

All talks will be between 11.15am and 3.45pm in Áras de Brún and the Alexander Anderson Boardroom (QA113) in the Quadrangle. Everybody is welcome, and encouraged, to attend as many talks as they like. Speaking to no audience is no fun.

The schedule is pretty tight and lecturers will have to move between rooms, so it is important to be punctual.

Students should be present, at least, at the talks before and after their own. Speakers should talk for 10min in order to allow for questions and transition between speakers.
