Structure of the Seminar
This seminar can be seen as a conference session. A chairman leads through the seminar and the audience can change between the contributions. We have two roles:
Speaker:
- chooses a type of contribution (default is 10/10-talk)
- provides title, abstract and type of contribution (if not default) to chairman
- presents in English
Types of Contribution:
10/10-talk: 10 minutes talk about current research followed by 10 minutes discussion & feedback
Think Tank: Pure discussion (< 20 min ) about a future research idea or a problem the speaker stumbled upon that needs to be solved
Tutorial: An in-depth talk (< 30 min) about the speaker's current research or an introduction to a hot topic being new to the group
Chairman:
