| 11:55 – 12:30 | Lightning talks This year’s workshop will for the first time feature a lightning talks session. Each talk will be strictly limited to five minutes and a single slide, there will be no Q&A after the talk. The idea of this format is to give all attendees the opportunity to present a topic to the general audience, find interested and/or experienced conversation partners, and ignite further discussion. By scheduling these talks right before lunch we hope this will allow interested parties to gather around the speakers at lunch to discuss individual topics. If you would like to give a lightning talk, please get in touch with Michael Ott (ott@lrz.de). |
