About CIS-GReS
The home of CIS Graduate Research Students
About us
CIS-GReS stands for Computing and Information Systems Graduate Research Students. We are a group dedicated for all graduate research students with supervisors from the University of Melbourne's School of Computing and Information Systems.
We run a wide range of academic and industry-related events as well as networking and social events. These events aim to promote and build productive networks and linkages in order to open discussion, share research ideas and catalyse interdisciplinary research and support. The flagship of this is the annual CIS Doctoral Colloquium. Caring about student welfare and building a sense of community, we hold regular events as Weekly Tea Time, sporting events, and excursions outside the University.
We want to encourage you to get involved and be part of our community!
