The John Carver Seminar Series 2022 will be held on Monday 26 September starting at 10am in the new Auditorium (building 160).

15-minute talks will be given by students about their current research, to an audience of your fellow students and RSPhys colleagues. The talks are not followed by questions.

These talks are judged by a panel of three judges (two academics and a student).

Seminar presenters will be considered for one of the three prizes:

1. The John Carver Prize ($750)
2. The Dean’s Prize ($500)
3. The Director’s Prize ($500)

There will also be a vote for the People’s Choice award ($200).

The talks will be judged on the following criteria:

• Presentation level: suitability for fellow postgraduate students from different fields          
• Presentation style: clarity of ideas, logical flow, enthusiasm          
• Significance of research work being presented   
• Role of presenter in the research work   
• Relevance of research work in the broader context  
   

The winner of the John Carver Prize will be invited to present their talk at an equivalent competition run by the NSW branch of the Australian Institute of Physics - Postgraduate Awards event on Tuesday 8 November in Sydney.

Everyone is invited to attend and support your colleagues as this is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the incredible research undertaken by our students!
