Four EASY HINTS to help you get a FASTER response:

(ONE) Use the right email address

Need info about a particular Talk? Contact that particular Talk’s Organiser! Here’s how:

Simply go back to the Talk page itself, locate the following text on that page, and click the listed OrganiserName to get their email address:

If you have a question about this talk, please contact OrganiserName.

(TWO) Read the Help pages first

Many common questions are answered on the Help pages.

(THREE) Include a WEB LINK to your Talk or List if you have a query about Editing your page

To make sure we have exactly the right Talk or List, we need a link e.g. https://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/1234 , NOT just the Title.

Any such queries without a link will be responded to with a request for a link, possibly 1-2 weeks later.

PLEASE NOTE : It may take us up to 1-2 weeks to respond to your message

It may take up to 1-2 weeks for us to respond – therefore it is in your best interests to make sure you have taken note of the four suggestions above before you email us.

Please contact UIS Support Desk (https://help.uis.cam.ac.uk/contact-us)

Having understood the potential delays involved, and taken note of the above suggestions to speed things up, you may wish to email: webmaster@talks.cam.ac.uk

How to get more information about a talk

Many Talks.cam talks are open to the general public. We do ask that those that aren’t open to the general public say so (i.e. that they say something like ‘Only open to members of the Department of Penguinology’. If you aren’t sure whether a talk is open to the general public, then ask the talk or list organiser, as they will be able to answer your question.

Please note: in order to see the email addresses of list and talk organisers, you will need to be logged in. If you do not have an account already, you can create one by clicking the ‘No account’ link on the left.

If you want to contact someone about a specific list, contact the list’s organisers. They are shown at the bottom of the list’s page on Talks.cam.

If you want to contact someone about a specific talk, look at that talk’s page and contact the organiser of that talk. Failing that, contact an organiser of the series that the talk is in.

Please direct any enquiries concerning individual talks to the organisers of the appropriate talk or seminar series, rather than contacting the UIS Service Desk. If you click on their name when looking at a talk or list, you’ll be taken to a page containing their contact details.

If you have any enquiries about a talk venue, please contact the organiser. You may also find the University Map useful – try the Index Search on that page.
