After an inaugural lunch on October 16, 2019, we have our research lunch every week or two at 12:45, typically on Wednesdays but adjusting to the constraints of the speaker.
At that time of the day, most students and researchers of ISU and local university departments and companies usually have a free slot to meet and discuss the latest developments of their own research, or of the studies of our visitors and lecturers.
The format is to have first an (informal) 30-min presentation, followed by a 15-min paper discussion, or conference summary, both favoring interruptions and interactions!
For now, the research lunches will take place in the Pioneer Hall or outside, weather permitting, to respect physical distancing.
