Welcome Message from the Convenor of the Big Picture Seminar Series - QRL Seminars On behalf of National ICT Australia, I am pleased to announce the commencement of our 2011 Big Picture Seminar Series. Welcome to our seminar website.
Our first seminar in 2011 will be presented by Prof. David Feng, the Associate Dean, International IT of the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney. In his talk entitled ‘Innovation in Biomedical Imaging and Information Technology’, Prof. Feng will shed light on how recent advances in digital medical imaging and information technology have revolutionised biotechnology, biomedical research and healthcare. The seminar will take place on the 25th of May at the Eagle Street Conference Centre, the ‘Thinking Building’. As usual, the talk will be followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the Speaker.
On behalf of NICTA’s seminar committee, I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all attendees for their encouraging feedback on all seminars in 2010. The 2010 series started off with a presentation from the President of the International Association of Privacy Professionals, Mr Malcolm Crompton, on the topic ‘Privacy by Design’. The second seminar in 2010 was presented by Richard Stallman on the topic ‘Education Across the Nation – Free Software in Ethics and in Practise’. Richard Stallman is world-renowned for launching the development of the GNU operating system. This special event was jointly hosted with the Australian Computer Society (ACS) and in conjunction with the World Computer Congress in Brisbane. Over 500 attendees participated in this event. We rounded off our 2010 series with a seminar presented by NICTA’s Chief Technology Officer Dr Chris Nicol on 27 October 2010. This seminar was entitled ‘Strategic Inflection Points in the Computing and Semiconductor Industries’.
