IT Seminars

New Zealand is the only country in the developed world without an advanced computer network for research and education. This omission is about to be rectified with the establishment of a very high speed national network, and significant improvements in international connectivity. This vital part of the country's infrastructure will bring new opportunities for New Zealand's engagement with the world research community, and stimulate research and education innovation nationally. The seminar will explain what the coming of the network will mean to the University of Otago, and explore the new opportunities the network will bring. "What happens when the lid [cap] is lifted?". All welcome - attendees will not require any technical IT knowledge. Presenter: Neil James, IT Strategy and Policy Consultant. Thursday 4th May at 1:00pm Seminar Room, University College.
