Question 1

Do I need to do any preparation for the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Please prepare in advance a PowerPoint presentation to accompany your Seminar session, in some cases other types of preparation might be required. This preparation might involve installing software (e.g., R Studio), reading an article, or jotting down some ideas that would connect the topic of the session to your own research interests. Presenters will be asked to make clear whether there is any homework or preparation. Please bear in mind that most presenters are participating in the FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy on a voluntary basis, so please respect their requests to complete the preparation activities.  If you have not completed the preparation, the presenter will not be willing nor able to wait for you to catch up!

Question 2

Where are the Seminar Series sessions held?

Accepted Answer

The sessions will be held on the 2nd floor of 78 Murray Street, Perth, depending on lecture room availability.  We will try to notify you of any venue changes, and signs will be posted on the day.

Question 3

I'm not able to attend the session,  will the sessions be recorded?

Accepted Answer

We recommend in-person attendance, as the sessions will be designed with the live audience in mind.  However, sessions will be live-streamed, recorded and uploaded to Office 365 for individuals who requests access.

Please note that our video recording technology has limitations, so we cannot ensure that the presenters will always remain within the camera's frame or that the speaker and audience audio will be captured clearly. Additionally, some sessions include interactive elements that may not translate effectively to video.

Question 4

What can I do if I’d like to run a FOWI Seminar session or invite somebody to run a session?

Accepted Answer

Please bear in mind that the sessions are planned many months in advance, last minute timeslot requests may not be available. We recommended contacting the Coordinator in advance with your preferred time slot.
