NORDUnet would like to invite proposals for lightning talks for the NORDUnet Community Workshop (NCW23). The community workshop will take place in Copenhagen, 12-14 September 2023.
We have two lightning talk sessions in the community workshop program this year – Tuesday 12 September in the morning and Thursday 14 September in the afternoon. Both are plenary sessions, while the rest of the program features breakout topical workshops. The lightning talks is the opportunity to update the community on new developments and initiatives.
At NCW23, Lightning Talks are five-minute presentations focusing on one key point; this can be an idea, a successful project, a cautionary tale, a collaboration invitation, or even a quick tip. Everything within the R&E community. The NCW23 offers you a great audience who will be happy to learn about progress, news and views – and eager to give you feedback.
“There are no limits. You can choose to focus on some minuscule technical detail only relevant to one or two in the audience. No problem, everyone else will know that in five minutes somebody else will take the floor”, says Lars Fischer, Lightning Talks session chair and member of the programme committee.
Use the time wisely to present the pertinent message of the subject matter without the need for background history, the problem space or a business-case justification.
If (with emphasis on “if”!) you want to use slides, make sure they are clear, light and not too many (typically one or two will do).
Submit your lightning talk proposals – speaker name, affiliation, title, one or two paragraph abstract – to lightning@ncw2023.net. Deadline for submission is Monday 4 September 2023.
Looking forward to hearing your talk in Copenhagen.
