MSI Colloquia for 2008

Unless otherwise stated, MSI Colloquia are held in the Bernhard Neumann Seminar Room (G35) on the ground floor of the John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Building, Bldg 27 (Map).

To have a MSI Colloquium listed in this page, email the details to Adam Sikora or Adam Rennie.

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).
