Come and learn the most powerful techniques expert researchers and professionals use to enhance productivity and make life easier. Join us and take this chance to upgrade your work methods and discuss while enjoying lots of food and drinks in an informal, relaxed, and fun way.
Our everyday research is most fun and productive when we concentrate on creative problem-solving. Good news: tools are available for almost all other tasks to make your engineering life easier. Many software packages written by the large community allow you to quickly and easily automate menial tasks, build graphical user interfaces, visualize data, and much more! This event aims to bring awareness of these packages by hosting multiple interactive demos of mostly free and open-source software built in easy-to-learn languages such as Python. The demos are set up around informal discussion tables with plenty of time for inspiring discussion and questions, alternated with lighting talks and videos showing the usage of these tools.
This event is an opportunity to learn how to tap into and use the available public resources and learn about the newest tools developed by Ph.D. students and researchers alike. From students to highly experienced experts, everybody is welcome to learn and share ways to boost their research. Benefit and learn from the trial-and-error of others and get a kickstart in productivity!
