Description:

The Computing Science Colloquium is mandatory for all students of the Computing Science master programme, starting in the academic year 2010. By attending talks you learn how to give one yourself; and you will give one yourself. It is also a good medium to keep up with the fast moving state of the art in Computing Science.

These are the requirements:

Attending at least 30 colloquium talks.
Writing a paper.
Giving one colloquium talk.

You can spread the completion of those components over the whole length of your study, but ideally you should wait giving your presentation until your 2nd year. By that time you should have the needed background to present an advanced topic. Please also note that there is a requirement that you must have your Colloquium obligation (almost) completed before you can start your thesis project. Check out the information here.

For the writing and presentation part, you will need to find a lecturer that can take the role of your supervisor and reviewer. You need to decide together with her/him at least one paper which you can use as your base. You can either propose this base, or perhaps your supervisor already has a proposal for you. It is up for the two of you to decide.

Usually, the base paper(s) is a recent paper published in a representative journal or conference within the research fields of our Computing Science programme. You need to read this paper, and possibly doing a bit more literature study about its topic. Then you write about the topic in your own words (your paper).

You can then present your topic/paper in the colloquium (or the other way around). It is also possible to choose different topics for the paper and the presentation.

Check out the Colloquium website for more information.
