BarCamp ESCAIDE 2016 will take place on Tuesday 29th Nov between 18:40-20:00.

What is BarCamp ESCAIDE?

Every year at ESCAIDE hundreds of front-line professionals in applied infectious diseases from Europe and beyond, who present their work, discuss it with peers and seniors, and network.

  • BarCamp offers ESCAIDE participants a new opportunity to network and exchange ideas.
  • It is  a dynamic forum for raw ideas, methodological hiccups, data challenges and more.
  • BarCamp @ ESCAIDE is way to offer more professional interactions with a peer-to-peer spirit in a relaxed environment.

 

How does it work?

BarCamp is an informal event, a get-together, where the audience is generating the content.
 

The BarCamp participants create the agenda:

  • On the day of the event members of the audience propose topics / volunteer to speak briefly about their ideas, puzzling findings, methodological challenges, etc.
  • The participants then vote on the topics proposed, and the ones with the most votes (highest interest) are included in the agenda of the BarCamp.
The setting is casual, usually drinks are provided to add to the relaxed atmosphere.
