2003 Spring Research Seminars

The MIT Center for eBusiness is pleased to announce the eBusiness Research Spring Lunch Seminars on Wednesdays beginning on February 26, 2003.

We invite Center for eBusiness sponsors, faculty, research staff, and PhD candidates to attend these seminars. The eBusiness Research Lunch Seminars explore new and ongoing research in an informal setting conducive to an open exchange of ideas to aid the presenters in their research. They are held Wednesdays, 11:30 - 1:00 in the large conference room of NE20-336, located on the third floor of 3 Cambridge Center, a commercial office building on Main St. in Kendall Square, above the MIT Coop, with entrance next to Legal Seafoods. The Kendall/MIT stop on the MBTA Red Line is immediately adjacent.

Refreshments will be provided. To aid us in our order, RSVP to Robynne DeCaprio by replying to the weekly announcement email that will be sent out one week before each seminar. A brief description of the topic will be included in this announcement. Also, if you would like to be on the list for future announcements of these seminars, please us know by sending e-mail to eBusiness@MIT.EDU.
