UNU/IIST has organised 24 seminars and in-house training courses for its fellows and staff in 2002. The lecturers were visitors, fellows and staff of UNU/IIST. The seminars act as a forum for the UNU/IIST staff and fellows to present their work and to discuss topics of common interest in software technology. In-house training lectures are to provide more fundamental knowledge in computer science for the fellows.
