SUTS Research
Seminar & Discussion (S/D) Series
In 2003, SUTS organised fortnightly seminars on
information technology (IT)
with one of the aims being to visibly express the current and
potential research activities by the SUTS staff as well as by
external guest speakers. Starting July 2004, the series was extended
to include a "research discussions" component which would be more of
experience sharing between researchers. In 2005, the series was
revamped to include SUTS speakers from its 3 schools.
