NCSA Colloquia typically take place in the NCSA Auditorium at 11am on Friday mornings during the semester. A light reception is held in the NCSA atrium right after the colloquium.
The official web page for the NCSA Colloquia is on the main NCSA web pages, and includes speaker bios, talk abstracts, and after the colloquia a video copy of the talk. This page collects information on future colloquia speakers for planning purposes before we have the complete set of information for the main web pages.
For logistical questions about the colloquia series please contact Tom Coffin at tcoffin@illinois.edu, for communications about colloquia please contact Trish Barker at tlbarker@illinois.edu, if you want to partner with NCSA in hosting a colloquia speaker please contact Gabrielle Allen at gdallen@illinois.edu.
