Friedrich Alexander University (FAU) and UCSF Workshop

UnConference Breakout Sessions 

Thursday, March 30, 9 am – 2 pm 

Breakout Sessions

The UnConference breakout sessions on Thursday, March 30, are your opportunity to engage more fully with the topics presented in Wednesday’s scientific talks. We hope the UnConference format will be energizing and collaborative, generative of conversation and fresh ideas, and potentially inspire new projects. The ‘rules’ are few and simple – 

• The breakout sessions are participant-driven, unscripted and interactive. Our Lunch and Dinner Reception on March 29 are opportunities for you to identify breakout session topics or groups. 
• The Titles in the program are placeholders and should evolve to reflect the individuals who participate in each breakout session. 
• The Format is flexible. You may interact in group discussions or 1:1. 
• The desired Outcome of the sessions is to reach a consensus on whether or not there is a collaborative project. Collaborations are between FAU and UCSF. Siemens may be involved if appropriate.  
• Leaders will guide breakout session discussions if needed.  
• Mobility is encouraged. If you observe that you are not contributing, learning, or having fun – move to another session.
