Progress in Ophthalmic Research
The seminar “Progress in Ophthalmic Research” seminar (S08SOPH06), starting this winter term, will take place only in a in-person format:
- will normally take place every Wednesday from 9:00 – 10:00 in the HNO Lecture Hall . Please find a preliminary schedule here below
- primarily targets advanced MSc (only for their final report) and PhD students as well as postdocs. Of course, group leaders and advanced researchers are not strictly excluded, but this seminar is rather meant as an opportunity for early-stage researchers to report, practice talks and get feedback from a broad, friendly crowd.
- Preferred presentation forms are:
- final report of a MSc or PhD thesis
(30 minutes; plus discussions, feedback etc.) - progress report
(25 minutes; postdocs and advanced PhD students) - project presentation
(25 minutes; preferentially postdocs, advanced researchers and PIs)
- final report of a MSc or PhD thesis
Online participation via Zoom:
Please note:
Online participation via Zoom is only possible in exceptional circumstances. In this case, please contact Thomas Euler or Sylvie Julien-Schraermeyer to obtain your Zoom login details.
Which option you choose is completely up to the participant!
Instructions for speakers:
- Please have the Zoom client already installed on the notebook you will use for your presentation. If you have questions about Zoom, please contact Thomas Euler. If for any reasons you cannot install Zoom on your notebook, please contact us such that we can provide a notebook for the session; in this case, have your talk either in the Cloud or on a USB stick.
- Please contact your fellow speaker of the session if it would be possible to share one notebook.
