LUNCH AND COFFEE

We invite you to join our Breakout Rooms during the lunch breaks and coffee breaks. The Breakout Rooms serve as friendly online coffee or lunch get-together areas, or “cafeteria tables”. These virtual spaces are meant to serve as a platform for relaxed, small-group discussions about the presentation and related research topics in a less formal space.

These coffee and lunch tables are found in the Breakout Rooms of the conference’s main Zoom session. During the breaks, just click the “Breakout Rooms” icon on the control bar and join a selected room (Lunch/Coffee table 1–3).

The lunch will take place between 12.30–13.30 (Mon) and 12.45–13.45 (Tue). We will use the first 15 minutes to prepare out meals of choice, after which we will gather around the virtual tables of the “Lunch” Breakout Room for the remaining 45 minutes to enjoy lunch and discuss with other conference participants.

On coffee breaks (11.15–11.30 and 14.30–14.45 on Monday, and 11.30–11.45 and 14.45–15.00 on Tuesday) freely choose one of the virtual coffee tables and click to enter. During the coffee breaks we use several Breakout Rooms, and we encourage to keep the groups on a smaller side, in order to make the discussion more fluent, and allowing everyone a possibility of participating in meaningful conversations.

Warm welcome to our virtual cafeteria tables!
