Distributing to every Internet researcher at Åbo Akademi. Feel free to forward.

Dear colleagues,

Many of us are doing Internet research, but few of us know about each other. To correct this I’m organizing a networking meeting for every researcher and PhD student conducting Internet research at Åbo Akademi, and of course anyone interested in Internet research are welcome to join us. The meeting will take place on April 24th at 2pm in ASA C122 (Lilla Auditoriet).

The goal with this meeting is to network and to learn more about each other and the research we are doing. A long term goal is to increase collaboration between the Internet researchers at Åbo Akademi, and perhaps even organize joint methods seminars and workshops in the future. A second goal for the meeting is to discuss how we should continue from here.

It will be an informal event with free coffee/tea and cake (thanks to prorector Malin Brännback) with Pecha Kucha style presentations by all attendees and with plenty of time for networking. Please prepare two PowerPoint slides for the presentation, one with your contact details and one about your research. Send the slides to me and I’ll put them all together into a single presentation.

Please register by sending an email to kim.holmberg [at] abo.fi on April 19th at latest (so that I know how much cake to get). Please mention any dietary restrictions.

Hope to see you all on the 24th of April.

With kindest regards,

Kim Holmberg

PS. If you can’t come to the meeting this time, but would like to keep posted about possible future events then please let me know.
