The MSI Colloquium given by a speaker from outside the ANU is usually followed by dinner,
which is to be organized by the visitor's host. The host should send an email to
msi (at) yin.anu.edu.au a day or two
before to see who is interested in dinner.
The MSI will cover the dinner costs for both
the speaker and the host. The host will initially pay, then be reimbursed by Katie on the
basis of the receipt (which
should contain the ABN of the restaurant).
