Reading group

What? A regular meeting to discuss research papers
Who? Anyone interested! Professors, post-docs, PhD students, interested master students
Which papers? In the beginning: seminal papers of the area. For example, on the ioco approach. Later: papers that are currently of interest to (some of) the participants
What for?

  • Practice reading and discussion of research papers
  • Sharing interesting research
  • Develop ideas for own research (especially for new PhD students)
  • Entry point for coordination / collaboration

When? Tuesdays at 14:00
Where? On zoom (clickable link)
Preparation? 1. Read paper in advance. 2. Prepare questions and other discussion items
What else? There is a role of discussion lead that will change from meeting to meeting. Often it’s the person who suggested the paper that is being discussed. The discussion lead moderates the meeting, for example, by asking all participants at the beginning of the meeting for their discussion items and then making sure that all main items are addressed during the meeting.
