FoAM - lectures http://x4.fo.am/taxonomy/term/170/0 en Bitesize Lectures http://x4.fo.am/bsl <p>Bitesize lectures are periodic public events organised by FoAM in Brussels. The events consist of lectures and presentations, by emerging and established practitioners in a variety of fields. The talks last for approximately one hour, with another two to three hours reserved for discussions, moderated by one of FoAM's collaborators. The presentations are complemented by thematic foods and drinks, providing an informal and relaxed atmosphere. We designed this series to allow in-depth conversations with people who are great speakers and have interesting things to say, without being rushed. We wanted to go beyond the obligatory Q&amp;A session, encouraging inspiring dialogues, which can be valuable for both the presenters and the audience. The regular visitors of the series is a mixture of people who are either professionally, or personal curious about the speakers and the topics. The lectures are given avoiding excessive use of jargon, which facilitates engaging interdisciplinary conversations.</p> event bitesize lectures brussels food lectures talks Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:38:15 +0000 nik 493 at http://fo.am
