Research Seminars (10ect)
We have research seminars in our department of Information Studies at Åbo Akademi University where PhD students, post-docs and other researchers present work-in-progress, projects and research papers. It is a great way to learn about others' work and know about latest work in the field. It is also effective way to enhance the presentation skills and interactions. I do participate in these seminars and enjoy it!
