Participants will be given a topic and a short list of recent research papers, and will be asked to prepare a seminar talk and submit a written report. The primary goal of this seminar is to improve students’ ability to read and interpret research articles, to prepare a presentation similar to what is required at a scientific conference and to lead/participate in a scientific discussion. In the scope of this seminar, students will simulate the different phases of a scientific conference: Submission of work, review, notification/feedback, submission of the final version of the report, presentation session and possibly the chairing a session.
