When does CAT meet?

CAT Meetings: Spring 2012

Welcome to a new and still very busy year! Throughout the spring semester, we intend to keep the format of offering CAT Meetings for relatively small groups (research meetings of CAT members), primarily project-related (like for the CySLI Project), and CAT Lectures for a larger audience (CAT member talks, informal presentations, and invited guest lectures). We're also waiting for our new CAT Lair to be completed — as soon that's done, there'll be an inaugural meeting. Stay tuned!

CAT Meetings: Fall 2011

The summer break is upon us but the new scheduling and planning started already. Throughout the fall semester, we intend to keep the format of offering CAT Meetings for relatively small groups (research meetings of CAT members) and CAT Lectures for a larger audience (CAT member talks, informal presentations, and invited guest lectures). For the time being, however, we'll stick the former on a regular basis and announce the latter as they come up; a list of CAT working groups can be found here.

CAT Meetings: Fall 2010

From September 8 onwards, CAT Meetings will be held on the UCY Main Campus (75 Kallipoleos, Nicosia) throughout the fall semester. The scheduled slot is Wednesdays from around 5pm to 7pm in room A008. From November onwards, we have a new location -- the CAT Lair! The location is 48 Kallipoleos, Loucas Court, 3rd floor (rooms 310–311).

 

CAT Meetings: Summer 2010

In between semesters, CAT Meetings will be held at UCY (in the conference room of the Department of English Studies). The meeting dates are limited, Tuesdays from 5pm to 7pm, on these dates:

 

CAT Meetings: Spring 2010

Throughout the semester, CAT Meetings will be held at Oktana, a nice café in the Old Town of Nicosia. The scheduled slot is Tuesdays from 4.30pm to 6pm, but the place and atmosphere will ideally lead to extended sessions for more discussion and socializing. The week-by-week schedule and some downloadable materials will be posted soon. (Details on previous semesters can be viewed here.)
