CW22 - Social Programme

At Collaborations Workshop, we aim to increase opportunities for networking and socialising during online events. We have a rich social programme that we hope you will engage in to make new and strengthen old connections with other participants.

In addition to activities taking place on alternative platforms, a Zoom room will also be made available in parallel as an alternative platform for connecting with others. Connection details will be emailed to participants and shared in the CW22 Slack workspace.

Social Activity #1: Meet and mingle on RemotelyGreen

When: 16:00 - 17:00 BST (check your time zone here)

Facilitator: Ben Krikler (University of Bristol)

Remember when grabbing a coffee in the break was a way to bump into someone you'd not yet spoken to? This activity will recreate that feeling and give us a chance to meet each other in a refreshing, fun, and stimulating session using the RemotelyGreen platform.

 

Notes for participants:

  • The link to the event will be emailed to participants.
  • For best performance we recommend using Chrome, Firefox or Edge from a laptop or desktop - other browsers and devices might work, but it is harder for us to guarantee the same experience elsewhere.
  • You need an account to join the event - this is a quick process, either using an existing LinkedIn account or an email address (in which case a verification email will be sent). If you do not already have an account, please consider joining a few minutes early to allow for this step.
  • Once connected to the event you do not have to do anything; you can just stay on the same page - the platform will take care of moving you through the program. If you want to leave early, you can simply close the tab.
  • You can choose which topics you would like to talk about when you join the event and in between the encounters. Depending on the number of people that take part and how many interests you share with the others in the event, there is a chance in later encounters that you might meet the same people again. If this happens, try selecting new topics or deselecting others.
  • Please find the privacy policy for the platform here.
