EBS Research Seminars are an opportunity to discuss research in an informal, supportive though critical atmosphere. Seminars are presented by members of the group plus guests from elsewhere in the University, Australia and internationally. All research students, post-docs and visiting scholars are expected to present an update on their research at least once a semester. Academic staff and visitors also present updates on their current research at least once a year. If you wish to make a presentation, or know of a guest whom we should invite, please contact Professor Gary Moore or Chumporn Moorapun, Room 556, .

All EBS Research Seminars are from 12:30-2:00 pm, in Seminar Room 557, Wilkinson Building, University of Sydney, unless otherwise noted. Please feel free to bring guests and your lunches.

The EBS Publishing Syndicate is a group activity to enhance research activity by increasing research publications through supporting and helping members to increase the rate and standard of refereed publications. All research students, post-docs and visiting scholars are expected to be working on publishable papers, and to present a draft paper for discussion at least once a semester. If you have any question about this group, or would like to present a draft paper for feedback, please contact Professor Gary Moore or Durdane Lafci, Room 556, .
