Action list based on 2019 debriefing

--> Action 1: Have a lecture to give the big picture and introduce the program. Resize some other lectures to fit it in and avoid duplication.

--> Action 2: Have a lecture at the end of the program to wrap up the program.

--> Action 3: Have the survey opened the first day to evaluate every single lecture and lab.

--> Action 4: Distribute the female students randomly. We make the groups by alphabet.

--> Action 5: Consider a ML lecture for next year.

--> Action 6: Start lectures sharp on time (if there are no exceptional circomstances)

--> Action 7: Lab book: Use a common document editable by many at the same time, such as Google Doc.

--> Action 8: Make sure that social activities happen also, if not in majority, during the first week.

--> Action 9: Remind lecturers that the aim is to have a mix of mentoring lectures and informative lectures. Also that it should be 5-10 minutes shorter to let time for questions.

--> Action 10: We should categorize the lectures : overview, technology, special interest. We can then encourage lecturers of a certain group to have a meeting to harmonize their lectures.

Checklist for the local organizers

This is based on the feedback collected in 2018.

  • Check lab book before printing
  • WIFI in hotel is important
  • Dinner should be on the last day or the day before the free day
  • Bigger screens for the labs
  • Bigger room for labs
