The RIP series is an opportunity for students to present their research, in any stage, as well as to offer helpful research suggestions to one another and gain valuable feedback - in addition to some free lunch. These seminars are held every week for one hour with lunch provided to everyone attending.

Historically informal, these seminars are a useful way for presenters to try out new ideas, prepare for conferences, and inform peers of their research. Attendees gain from the exposure to new ideas and methods but primarily help the presenter (a role they will often assume as well in another session).
