The “Wednesday talks” are the department's main seminar series. These talks take place on most Wednesdays during term, in Lecture Theatre 1 of the William Gates Building. They start at 16:15 and last about 45–60 min.

The talks are held by both distinguished external speakers as well as members of the department. They are targeted at anyone with a background in computing, in particular also students. Topics span the full range of computer science and beyond.

For further information about the Wednesday seminar series contact Rafał Mantiuk.
