Parkville Precinct GR Seminar Series
Every week on Friday, until 3 Jan 2025

-
The Parkville Precinct Departments participate in the GR Seminar Series which are now, usually via Zoom or in hybrid mode and can be held any day/time. They are sometimes held in the Ewing Lecture Theatre, 5th Floor, Clinical Sciences Building, Royal Melbourne Hospital (note: alternative venues will be notified). These seminars give students the opportunity to present their research projects during the confirmation process and to provide annual progress updates. For students presenting their Orations, it is an opportunity to receive constructive feedback from an expert audience prior to thesis submission. We strongly encourage students and staff at the Parkville Precinct departments to attend these presentations; independent input and feedback is greatly valued and helps the students to consolidate their ideas. Please refer to internal communications for Zoom details and contact Ms Kim Ng to schedule your seminars.
