Title and Description

Title and Description
  • Make sure your Title is not too generic - including the short name or acronymn of your department is helpful e.g.: ‘WIMM Monday Seminars’ rather than just ‘Monday Seminars’
  • The text in the Description can be formatted - see Formatting Text for more information

Organisers and Organising Department

Organisers and Organising Department

Both the Organisers and Organising department fields work in the same way as for a talk, start typing to find the individual or unit you want.

Now, when you create talks and assign them to this series, you’ll find that they inherit the organisers and organising department.

Timing and Web Address

Timing and Web Address
  • The Timing field allows you to add a short piece of text describing times and dates. For instance you might want to indicate that your Monday Seminars occur every Monday in Full Term at 11am.
  • Use the Web address field if your series or conference has a dedicated website or page. Remember to prefix the address with ‘http://‘ or ‘https://‘.
