Guidelines for Hosts

Information required from host or speaker to help us arrange for a seminar


Dear host or speaker,

We would like to ensure that maximum notification about a talk is provided to the biodiversity community in Singapore, and that enough information is available to the reader. So please help us do this by submitting the following details, preferably two weeks before the proposed date of the seminar.

Thanks!

Information required:
  1. A title
  2. A short paragraph "About the speaker".
  3. The speaker's affiliation (Institution) and/or country.
  4. A short paragraph "About the talk" (abstract).
  5. High-resolution relevant images of the study subject or site.
  6. 5. A photo of the speaker.

This helps us plan and adequately publicise the seminar with posters, e-newsletter and webpage announcements, so please supply this information early. We try not to miss an opportunity to hear about your work when we get the chance and would like to afford others the opportunity too!

Coordinators checklist (or what we do with the information)
  1. Check the department schedule, e.g.:
    • avoid clashes biodiversity practicals - graduate students may be teaching,
    • avoid the Friday 4-5 pm departmental seminar slot,
    • avoid clases with SBG and NBRC seminars where possible.
  2. Secure a location preferably DBS Conference Room (S3) or an SR (S2).
  3. Confirm the date with the speaker once venue and date are secured.
  4. Receive the text and photos for publicity; process and send to:
  5. Distribute A3 colour posters.
  6. Standby venue before seminar, host if actual host is MIA.
