==Purpose==
  
   
  +
==Breakfast Meetings==
−
The goal of the optimization weekly meeting is to facilitate and support the development and conduct of research in optimization at IRIDIA. The meeting will help you in your efforts to develop research ideas, gives feedback on your work and serves as a means for disseminating your research results.
  
   
  +
===Purpose===
−
# '''Community'''. Keep everyone updated as to what other work in optimization is going on in the lab.
  
−
# '''Research'''. Share research results. Discussions of general interest. Literature study on specific topics. Inspiration for new research. Reports on conference visits.
  
−
# '''Admin'''. Optimization group administration. Discussion of practical problems. Guidelines for software etc.
 
   
  +
Breakfast meetings are informal meetings where there is a general discussion or someone presents their work. And additional goal is to have breakfast together.
−

==Format==
  
   
  +
=== Organization ===
−
# Presentation & Discussion (30 - 50 mins)
  
−
#* Work you have been doing
  
−
#* Reading you have been doing in the context of your work
  
−
#* Other reading on something you are passionate about
  
−
# Optimization group administration (0 - 30 mins)
  
   
  +
# Send an email to the [[Lab_responsibilities#Seminars_and_meetings | responsible of Optimization Meetings]]. Mention your name, your affiliation, the date, time and room, and a short summary of what you are going to talk about.
  +
# Add a new entry to the table below.
  +
# Bring breakfast.
   
−
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.
