OPEN READINGS 2012 conference feedback

What would be your suggestions for the organizing committee for Open Readings 2012 ?

  1. I think, you should make the poster sessions earlier so that more students (who have lectures in the morning/afternoon) could see the posters
  2. more information before the event
  3. become more organized
  4. Nothing special... Good work for all of You!
  5. get a login for wifi in dormatories next year, even if it will be for fee, just make the process easier :)
  6. Use every possible way to spread the information. Consider only the lecturers you can truly trust on.
  7. -
  8. To introduce a little bit more reference for the contributions. Sure, one should keep in mind that students are not mature scientists :)
  9. Stendinių pranešimų laiką siūlyčiau iš vakaro atkelti į pietų metą - tada pranešimus pamatytų daugiau studentų ir dėstytojų. Vakare daugelis jau būna baigę paskaitas/darbus ir išėję namo (arba gerti alaus).
  10. 1) Make some short "welcome party" (or some similar activity) on the first day of the conference. It would allow foreigners to get to know some people earlier that on the conference party. Believe me, foreigners such as me will be really grateful for this. 2) Tell the foreigners first time visiting your conference what they can find in the dormitories and what not. (Things like: that there's a kitchen, a fridge, some old pots and pans, but there are no ketlle to boil water, plates, spoons, forks etc) 3) Give people information about the internet in the dormitories and some brief manual about the Eduroam in the faculty. I suppose each year people have problems with it... 4) It seems not many people in Poland know about your conference. Did you send an information about the conference to students asocciations (in Warsaw, Cracov, Wroclaw/Breslau, Gdansk, Poznan, Torun, Lublin, Katowice)? (If there's a problem with finding Polish students' physics asocciations because of no webpages in English, I can help you - Anna)
