SV: Help with an Open Space for scientists

[Herrmann, Thomas]

Hi Viv
Hope it's not too late but I want to share an experience regarding your
issue. This last spring me and some collegues held a serie (four) events
that started with a traditional two-hour "lecture". I think it worked well
anyway because we arranged so that the 60-100 attandandees had to move to a
new room for the OS-event. That way they probably noticed the benefit of
not going on the traditional way.
Greetings Thomas
