Summary of IOC meeting on April 24, 2019
Present: Christine, Steve and Ketevi
We started the discussion on the integration of the scientific program so that the various planned activities support each other with the required overlap and minimal repetitions or duplications. We agree to work out an overview of the Conference and compare with the student program to identify where there are commonalities to be merged and where to have parallel sessions.
The Forum in the afternoon of July 15 will mark the end of the conference; to be attended by the students, teachers, conference participants and lecturers present.
Student poster sessions and student presentations to be integrated into the Conference.
Colloquia that used to be given to students in the first, second and third weeks to be integrated in the Conference.
General introductory / overview talks given to students, to be integrated into the Conference.
We will iterate over the integration at the next meeting.
Conference should encourage the participation of African graduate students, post-docs, and teach and research faculties.
