Program

In order to allow more interaction between different projects, but at the same time having all know the basic progress in each project, we will deviate from the classical "30min presentation for each project" style.

For each project, we will have a short (max. 10min) plenary talk with ample room for discussions and a much longer time-slot in parallel sessions. Here is a rough outline of the program:

Monday:
8:30-9:30: Registration and coffee
9.30-11.00: Short presentation of 5 projects (plenary)
11.00-11.30: Coffee break
11.30-13.00: In-depth presentation of projects (parallel)

13.00-14.30: Lunch break

14.30-16.00: Short presentation of 5 projects
16.00-16.30: Coffee break
16.30-18.00: In-depth presentation of projects (parallel)

20.00: Dinner

Tuesday:
9.00-10.30: Short presentation of 5 projects (plenary)
10.30-11.00: Coffee break
11.00-12.30: In-depth presentation of projects (parallel)

12.30-14.00: Lunch break

14.00-15.30: Short presentation of 5 projects
15.30-16.00: Coffee break
16.00-17.30: In-depth presentation of projects (parallel)

As you can see, we have 90 minutes for five 10min-presentations, which gives room for questions and discussions (but not extra time for extending the 10min limit :-)).

There are even less rules for the parallel sessions. Basically, in this time you can offer any type of presentation of your project that you feel appropriate. Note that we have plenty of room and different types of rooms, so here you really have a choice. The only rule is that we do require you to do something reasonable, and that we will have at most three things in parallel. Examples of how your presentation could look like include a classical 30min talk in the main lecture hall, the presentation of your new fool-proof software with everyone giving it a try in the computer lab, an interactive, 90min discussion session in the rotunde, ... Feel free to come up with other formats!

Please let us know until September 14th the style and duration of your project presentation, which other project presentations you definitely want to see and possibly time-constraints. If you do not answer, we assume that you give a talk classical style of 30min, that you don't want to see other project presentations and that you do not have time-constraints.
