VeRSI-Monash University eResearch Coffee Network
To develop the eResearch community at Monash University, VeRSI is collaborating with the Director of eResearch, Paul Bonnington, and the Monash e-Research Centre in the running of informal discussions about eResearch.
These discussions take the form of a fortnightly meeting, coffee provided, with topics identified for discussion, or a brief presentation. They are held every second Thursday at 10am. Please check the schedule below for location information. The discussions are open to anyone and we welcome Monash research and professional staff, as well as those from outside the Monash Community.
For further information, to propose a topic for discussion, or to be added to the email list for updates, please contact either Gaby Bright, the VeRSI eResearch Communications Manager, or Cheryle Allan of the Monash e-Research Centre.
