Upcoming Events

ACSER's seminar series plays an important role in achieving several of its aims: outreach, engagement within and without the faculty and university, mentoring of staff, and research training for postgraduate students. The seminar series was launched when ACSER transferred from the School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering (in whose series we participated) to the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications (who are very welcome to attend).
