Better formats for scientific conferences
Abstract: "Talk, Q&A, talk, Q&A, coffe..." in quick succession is a well known format for scientific conferences, even though it is not a good format to start discussions, not efficient in transporting knowledge and not optimal to progress a community in a certain field of research. But we as scientists tend to stick to it, because often it is good enough - or we do not know how to make it better (and not worse). In this talk I will give you an overview of different ideas for conference formats, like world cafés, fishbow discussions, science slams, speed dating and other formats, how to use them efficiently, how to fit them in and which pitfalls to avoid. I will make it short, under 30 min., so we have enough time for discussion.
