Informal Systems Seminars (ISS) generally take place on Fridays and cover topics in the domain of Systems and Control. Since 2020, they have become the Virtual Informal Systems Seminars (VISS) and can be attended from anywhere in the world. This is a long-standing seminar series organized at the Centre for Intelligent Machines in conjunction with (Group for Research in Decision Analysis). These events feature prominent speakers from around the world who present seminars on their latest research.

Recordings of selected seminars can be viewed on Youtube here:

See below for a history of the seminars in recent years.
