Organization of Edispuut Session

About Edispuut meetings
An Edispuut meeting consists of several presentations of Edispuut members or related researchers, who discuss their current research activities. Through discussion and 'dispute' each speaker hopefully gets useful hints and feedback to improve his or her research. Often a meeting also includes other activities such as a demonstration, methodological discussions or a presentation of current projects of the hosting university or institute. The Edispuut is notorious for its never-ending and fierce discussions. After a meeting the members continue their discussions having drinks and diner.
