Try and make your session as involving as possible for everyone:
 
* Send the article/handout to be read beforehand.
 
* Ask people before the meeting what aspects of your work / reading they would like to know about or discuss.
 
* Think about implications of what you are presenting for the research direction of the lab as a whole - methodologies, technologies etc.

Literature Sessions

Purpose

The goal of the Literature Sessions is to examine and discuss particularly interesting papers from the research literature. For each session, one paper will be selected, there will be a short presentation (10-15 minutes) about the contents, and a discussion will ensue. Sessions will last around 40-45 minutes. Attendants should read the paper before the session in order to have a productive discussion.

Organization

  1. Book a room (ask Muriel).
  2. Send an email to the responsible of Optimization Meetings. Mention your name, the date, time and room, a reference to the paper and the URL where it can be obtained. Also, attach the paper in PDF.
