What it is
The “un”conference is a special session that breaks up the standard format of a typical conference.
Instead of talks and posters that have been prepared in advance, the sessions of the unconference will be proposed and decided during the conference. It is a spontaneous format fostering networking, discussions, and brainstorming, giving full control to the conference participants to decide which topics to debate. Hence, no preparation is required.
How it works
You can already use the QR code below to:
- Propose topics or sessions by adding a small sticker with a brief description to the whiteboard.
Please use a recognisable username (e.g. name and surname) so we can easily link proposed ideas to conference participants.
Additionally, during the first day of the conference, every participant will also be able to:
- vote/signal interest in proposed topics / sessions, by making a mark on stickers.
During the second day (when the unconference takes place), the organisers will select the sessions / topics that have raised the highest interest and draft them into the program.
The participants who proposed the selected sessions will be in charge of moderating the discussion, with help from organising and scientific committee.
