The paper sessions include two to four 20-minutes presentations and enough time for feedback and discussion. Each session will combine presentations from different disciplinary backgrounds. In addition to the paper sessions, we schedule one poster session.
We would like to ask all presenter to keep in mind that kicking off such an interdisciplinary endeavor will require an extra effort of each participant in making their research accessible to researchers from other disciplines. To enter such a dialogue be aware the participants might not have a background in your field and please avoid any technical jargon.
On Monday evening (March 4, 2019), a workshop dinner will create the opportunity to socialize with the participants.
Location: Restaurant Linde Oberstrass, Zunftsaal (first floor)
Time: 19h30 - 22h00
