BRE Luncheon Research Seminars
BRE Luncheon Research Seminars
Mission
The purpose of the seminar is to help create an air of professional seriousness through scholarly interaction in BRE. The seminar is held for not only enriching academic staff’s research experience by interacting with peers and exchanging ideas, but also providing great opportunities for research staff and students in particular to attain and handle opinions from different angles for more rigorous research and discussions. It is envisioned that all participants can learn by getting information from research and broaden research horizons in different fields.
Format
The seminar runs by providing light lunch to participants in the first 10-15 minutes, followed by the speaker’s presentation for around 1 hour and a 15-minutes Q&A session. The contents of presentation can be general research ideas, research methodologies, research outcomes, conference or journal papers recently published or under preparation, to name a few. There is no fixed presentation format. The presentation format is flexible to allow speakers to use their own preferred format. A certificate will be issued to the speaker for acknowledgement. All in all, a causal seminar with vigorous and helpful discussions is expected.
