Centre for e-Research Seminar Series
The Centre for e-Research (CeRch) at King’s College London runs an interdisciplinary seminar programme on alternate Tuesday evenings during term time.
With viewpoints from many disciplines including the sciences, social sciences and humanities, the series’ primary focus is to stimulate discussion and provide new and innovative insight into design, development and use of digitally-based methods and technologies, and the theoretical issues that they raise (especially where they interact with a range of other fields).
Previous topics have included visualisation, webometrics, digital research infrastructures, computational creativity, motion data, computational linguistics, cultural value and social network analysis, among many others. Details of recent seminars in this series can be seen at
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/groups/cerch/research/seminars/ .
The series invites contributions for talks engaging with innovative questions or applications, using technology-enhanced methods. The series provides excellent networking opportunities, and will be of interest to anyone interested in debates around theories and practice in computing and digital technologies.
Seminars are held fortnightly on Tuesdays during term time at 6.15pm (unless otherwise stated) in the Anatomy Museum Space, at King’s College London, Strand Campus (http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cultural/spaces/anatomy-museum.aspx).
Seminars are followed by drinks and nibbles.
