Format
The format of the event will be “speed networking” that allows for quick encounters and interesting discussions:
- Seven Rechtskulturen Fellows introduce themselves and their projects simultaneously in 5-minute presentations at their own tables. As a participant, you will thus need to decide on a fellow and project that is of interest for you.
- After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to introduce yourself and discuss your related questions with the fellow, find out common interests and network.
- After 15 minutes, you will hear a gong, which invites you to change tables.
- At the new table, the project presentation of another fellow and the subsequent discussion are repeated.
- Overall, there will be three rounds of speed networking.
- After three rounds, you are invited to join our reception that will allow for more conversations and in-depth discussions.
Please register until the 4th of October 2013 by sending an email with the subject header: “Knowledge That (Net)Works” to rechtskulturen@trafo-berlin.de.
