How it works

Innovative format:
– At the beginning: short introduction of your research topic by oral presentation in the auditorium
– Subsequently: All workshop participants choose a topic and discuss with the ECS in small working groups (similar to poster session)
– Three discussion rounds (20 minutes each) in those groups (rotating twice)
What has to be done

– Preparation of short presentation (3-5 minutes, 2-3 PowerPoint slides) of your research topic; preparation of questions you have and/or you would like to discuss with other participants
– DIN A0 poster that help to show your points in the discussion rounds
Difference to conventional poster session Less results-oriented; you are free to discuss questions, methods and problems with other experts.
