OPEN READINGS 2011 conference feedback questionnaire

Please indicate the most significant shortcomings of conference organization

  1. i think there were no major shortcomings.
  2. the dates of the conference as posted on the webpage were misleading at one point.
  3. accommodation conference party lack of dinners for participants
  4. -
  5. poster presentations seemed chaotic in terms of relevant fields. two nearby posters can be so different in their field of study that it's hard to navigate. i think they should be divided into specific groups. participants could register in groups since, at least from vilnius university, we mostly know each other anyway. it's difficult to leave one's poster, but you do want to see other presentations as well. so grouping them would be the simplest solution. one could keep an eye on their poster while attending another.
  6. not enough oral presentations. maybe a sparse schedule.
  7. a number of presentations were based on textbook material with no significant follow-up original results (op-22, for example).
  8. can't think of anything.
