| Making plans |
| Gergely Bölöni |
Research plan proposal for 2004 |
|
| |
The proposal should be a quick (max 20min) presentation based on the conclusions made on the previous 2 days, suggesting the continuation of each topic if necessary. New topics (if arisen) should be listed too. |
| |
Brainstorming about the proposal |
| |
The aim is to polish the proposal using everybody's experience and foresight. |
