Galaxy Evolution Discussion Group
University of Oxford
The Galaxy Evolution Discussion Group talks take place once a week, currently Thursdays at 11:30am in the Beecroft Room of the Denys Wilkinson Building. They aim to foster exchange amongst local people interested in galaxy evolution. As opposed to the colloquia, which are held in the main auditorium for the whole department, these talks are rather informal, with a subgroup of expert people in a smaller room. Introductory material and reviews are welcome, but the talks are also a good place to present ongoing or controversial results and receive feedback. As such, the talks should typically contain 30-40 minutes of material, but they are scheduled for an hour to allow plenty of interaction, questions, and discussion.
We are always on the look-out for new people, so if you would like to talk do not hesitate to contact us. We do have a small budget to support outside speakers.
