Meeting structure

Place: ROBIN pause area, 4th floor Ole-Johan Dahls hus / gather town

12:00-12:15 Brief exchange of recent news, plans, updates, etc.

~12:20-12:40 Presentation on: Technology / Own Research / Journal review (see guidelines), time excludes discussion

Whatever content you present, remember that some of those attending have no advance knowledge about your project or work so introduce it in the beginning and stay focused on the main issues/challenges etc. Thus, make your presentation simple and understandable for as many as possible.
