Six students (3 from SFU and 3 from UBC) volunteer to give 30 minute presentations. To complete the program, 2 faculty members (one from each university) is invited to give a 1 hour non-technical talk on a matter that greatly impacts graduate one of students' academic life and which is usually not covered on any regular class.
