First meeting

First meeting schedule

(.pdf version ISSI_team_final_schedule_M1_13_2_19).

  • Each person has an hour for talk and discussion so we suggest that talks are ~30-40 mins so we have a short time for discussion and questions at the end of each talk.
  • We are going to try and keep to the schedule, i.e. we will stop the discussion at the end of your allocated time and any further discussion can be continued during the allocated discussion times at the end of the day, so everyone can talk at their scheduled time and get sufficient breaks to keep things productive each day!
