ConferenceNotes

1. Agreements

• Hotel

• Can be chosen only from the list of hotels having agreement with university.

It's tricky because could be also chosen hotell 'Having something that this

doesn't have'. What is this something special... tricky.

• Hotel Strandbaden people did not like

• University have agreement with printing company.

• We could print smth but for small amount of t-shirts (5 from Jac, takes hour if

there are colours and t-shirts), but Eva need to be asked

• It is fine to print logo on t-shirts as well

• Ask before organazing all lab leaders if they are (more or less) free and Eva as well.

• Zero-alcohol policy (no money for alcohol). But there is a one glass rule for international guests.

If there is a guest, one glass is allowed.

2. Other

• Instructions inside the hotel (where to go, how to find rooms, etc.)

• external presenters are important
• people liked teambuilding activities
• questions from speakers were extremely helpful!
• more thoughtful/carefully done review process (matching of interests)
