We want to hear from you who to invite as guest visiting lecturer.
In fact, every year we can request SPIE fundings to invite a domestic or international visiting lecturer.
We believe all the members should be involved in the decision.
We will organize the process in two parts:
PART I: every member is entitled to suggest up to two names. He/she will do so in the comment section of this page.
The only requisite for the candidate is to be a SPIE member (you can easily check that at this link).
If you do not have anybody in mind, you can check the following page on SPIE website for suggestions. This is a list containing the names of SPIE members willing to give talks together with their topics of expertise.
We will accept nominations until October 9th 2015.
PART II: We will prepare a list of 5 candidates to be voted among all the members through a poll.
We will then invite the candidates in order of the preferences received.
Let us know if you have questions or comments at urspie@gmail.com
