Knowledge Seminars (formerly BARC Seminars)
Monthly seminars were introduced at the Department of Regional Development, Primary Industry, Fisheries and Resources 17 years ago to give staff an opportunity to talk about their work in a formal way and in doing so to develop confidence and, hopefully, improve on their skills in oral presentations.
The seminars also provide an opportunity to staff, industry groups and the public to learn about the diverse research and development activities that are conducted by staff.
Each year 12 seminars are presented, one a month, on a variety of research/conference topics that researchers conduct during the course of their work. Seminars are usually conducted at Berrimah Farm.
During each seminar two members of the audience, chosen at random, score the speaker on his/her presentation. Marks are given for the organisation of the talks and for the style of presentation. Apart from determining the winner, the process helps in providing feedback to speakers so that they improve on their performance in the future.
The annual Knowledge Seminar Award is presented to the speaker with the highest marks for the year. To advertise seminars, a flyer is put on the Department’s Internet with the title, speaker and time of the seminar. Relevant external contacts are informed by email.
If you require further information or would like to be placed on the email list please contact Jason De Araujo, Technical Publications, John England Building, Berrimah Farm. Phone: (08) 8999 2313 or email technical.publications@nt.gov.au
