Data Blitz 2010

See also Data Blitz 2011

DataBlitz is the academic equivalent of speed dating – a fast-track vehicle to understand academics’ research and possible synergies with others. Each session involves a theme, three speakers for 10 minutes each, and 30 minutes for questions, comments and discussion.

DataBlitz will be held on the last Friday of each month, from 12.30 to 1.30pm. Light refreshments will be provided. All are welcome.

Enquiries: Michael Gilding, phone 92148102, email mgilding@swin.edu.au
