Add ‘1' or ‘0’ at your name for each session column so that I can prepare groups and alike according to who is actually present when. (All text in the sheet is immediately saved, you don’t need to press any 'save' button). Please treat the registration as binding after March 20 as late participant changes will cause me substantial extra work.

Registration is closed, contact bjorn.nystedt@scilifelab.se for any changes.

Preparations

PhD students:

A) Each student will make an ultra-short presentation, 2 min! For this you need to prepare 2 slides and send to me in advance
 - 1 slide including: Photos and names of you, your PI and your advisor. Your overall research question.
 - 1 slide including: Your main strategy to answer your research question. Bullet points of 3 main problems/challenges that you see
This presentation is a challenge and an exercise, and you should put some effort to it; presenting in 2 min is more difficult than 20 min, you need to reach out to a broad audience in a very concise way to create interest. 

B) Each PhD student will get a 50-min feedback session on her/his project, in small groups (3 projects per group). Make sure that you bring material/slides/discussion points readily available for these small group discussions. Your material should be as clear and focused as possible; it is up to you to prepare well to make these meetings valuable! The groups are outlined here (might still be adjusted)

PhD supervisors and advisors

You basically don’t need to prepare anything, but these meetings obviously rely on your presence and that you participate actively in the discussions and create a positive and encouraging atmosphere to support the PhD students, and creates valuable connections.
