In the Konversatorium, the following things will be discussed:

when they start work on their thesis.
- DAEV: In a second talk they report their results when they have
finished their thesis.
- Lab talks: The results of computer science projects (labs) done at the
institute should be presented in the Konversatorium.
- Group talks: One or two times per semester every group (Rendering, Visualization, Graphics Club, the Academy
of Science, the Imagination, PRIP, IMS and the VRVis will give a talk about a topic
of their choice. This may include their latest results, interesting
papers they have read and other topics.
- Other topics: Furthermore, everybody who is doing research in any field
of computer graphics and wants to present his ideas to and
discuss them with a broader audience is highly encouraged to
participate in the Konversatorium.
- Guest talks: Our Institute regulary invites guests to give a talk in our KV.

Organization
|
The following organizational rules help to keep the schedule:
- Everybody who wants to give a talk has to inform
the KV administration of the name of
the speaker, title of the talk, supervisor, and duration of the
talk well in advance. It is very important that the speakers adhere to this
length, otherwise the other participants will not have enough time to finish their
talks, or there will be no chance for discussion about interesting topics
- To allow the speaker to conclude his talk within the time-limit, no interruptions
are allowed during the talk. All questions should be noted and put forward after
the talk.
- To be able to control the length of the ensuing discussion after each talk, one of
the participants will be appointed chairman to organize the number and length
of questions. By default, the chairman will be Michael Wimmer, should
he be absent, another chairman will be selected.
From April 2005 the institute has a new
template for PowerPoint presentations.

Language of talks
| |
In principle, the speaker can chose whether he wants to give the talk
in English or in German. Yet, most of the time we have colleagues with
insufficient German-knowledge and quite often there are visitors from
other Universities in the KV who do not understand German, so please
be prepared to give the talk in English!

Submitting talks
|
If you want to hold a talk in the Konversatorium (which is highly
encouraged!), please just send an email to kv@cg.tuwien.ac.at,
which should include the following information:
- Your name
- Topic of the talk
- Type of talk (Diploma thesis start/end, State of the art report, ...)
- Your supervisor (especially for diploma thesis talks)
- length of the talk (this is compulsory!)
- your preferred date
You will then be informed whether you can hold the talk at that
date, and this page will be updated with your entry.
