Plan to encourage interaction among participants
A set of actions are planned to solicit broad and active participation in the workshop, including:
- Organization of a lunch or dinner in conjunction with the workshop sponsored by IEEE RAS with new funding allocated by TCs the RAS TAB to increase sharing of ideas and discussions among the participants as well as to help rejuvenate TC activities and empower TCs. We will include during this event an early-career research panel involving both students and leaders in the field to discuss and provide advice to students about research and future career needs.
- Use of social networks: dedicated pages on common social channels like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram will provide updates on the workshop program and discussions. These pages will also allow interactions between participants and remote researchers.
- Creation of online pools among both in person and remote participants to identify top discussions themes during round tables and breaks.
