These same groups will work together on the morning of the workshop. Remember that you can look up details and photographs of most project participants . The initial session of the workshop will be a poster session, enabling participants to gain a visual overview of each project to back up their preliminary reading. The workshop venue is a Resource Centre, consisting of several alcoves, with computers and pinboard backdrops. There will be space to put up poster materials of reasonable size for each project.
Projects are also welcome to display relevant project information on laptop computers.
We believe that computers in the Resource Centre are networked, and can be used to display web sites. Even if you use a laptop, please make sure you have something displayed on the posterboards. It doesn't have to be sophisticated, but it should summarise the salient points of your project. The intention is to give you a vehicle to discuss your project with other workshop participants, both at the poster session and during subsequent groupwork. The workshop will begin with an introduction and a poster session, with people mingling over coffee and getting a visual overview of each project.
