Coffee Lectures: new knowledge in ten minutes
In the event series of the ETH Library from June 2022, you can get input on tools and topics that support your academic work in a short and crisp form.
Get to know a new tool in our Coffee Lectures that assists you in your academic work or learn important tips and tricks on topics such as Creative Commons licences, maps and geodata for research and teaching, or on the new ordering interface of ETH Library @ swisscovery.
How the Coffee Lectures work
Each session lasts ten minutes. You will receive concise, condensed information on a particular topic and have time to ask questions at the end. Just the right length of time to enjoy a coffee while you listen.
The online events will be held external page via Zoom at 3.15 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons from 08 June to 06 July 2022. Event language is English.
Registration is not required. For browser-based Zoom sessions, we recommend using Chrome.
