Welcome to the SmartTalks!
Our webinars will happen on Thursday at 5:30 PM.
Talks will last between 20 to 40 minutes based on the stage of development of the research project that will be presented and will be followed by 10 minutes of Q&A.
Smart Talks are organized in collaboration with the IEEE Student Branch and with the Mu Nu Chapter of IEEE – HKN.
More information at https://smartdata.polito.it/category/smarttalks/
PhD students that will give a SmartTalk can ask for a certificate of participation, that can account for hard-skill credits (with the approval of their PhD board). Each student will get accredited 2 hours for every talk he/she gives, and 0.5 hour for each talk he/she listen to. The credits for attendance can be claimed only if the student also gives a talk. The certificates will be provided at the end of each academic year. Please, access to a talk using the Microsoft Team institutional account.
Current chairs and organizers (since October 2020):
Vittorio Mazzia and Daniele Apiletti.
Past chairs (May – September 2020): Mirko Pieropan and Alessandro De Gregorio.
