Presentation Formats
The 13th Annual Conference of the Society
for Media in Science 2008 emphasizes interactive formats. The
pre-conference focuses on the emphases of the conference by means of
'round tables'. Apart from key-notes, traditional presentations, a
panel, poster sessions and a market place, participants will directly
interact with experts in a "breakfast with key note speakers". Live
streaming of key-note presentations and the concluding panel will
provide the opportunity for an active participation in the discussion
by way of blogs.
Lectures and posters
The media supported lectures last 15 minutes with a subsequent
discussion of another 15 minutes. Recent scientific insights, practical
experiences, results of empirical research, and theoretical and
conceptual deliberations will be presented to an expert audience. One
track will be especially towards up-and-coming researchers who will be
supported in the development of their own current research projects.
Benefit from the expertise of known experts who will provide valuable
feedback to your research projects in an environment of respect and
mutual appreciation.

Pre-Conference Round-Table Discussions
Round tables enable the participants a moderated exploration and discussion of a specific problem or a specific topic. The moderators accompany and structure the discussion process and provide a brief introduction of topic and goal of the round table. It is the primary goal to develop a topic based on the perspective of the participants and to develop creative methods for resolution of selected problem in an open ambiance. Subsequently the results of the round table are documented and presented to the plenum for discussion.
