Paper Reading Group (PRG)

Idea

The PRG takes place every one or two weeks. Its two mains goal are: (i) to practice the critical reading and discussion of research papers, and (ii) to share interesting research among the participants.

Each meeting has a discussion leader, a role which rotates among the participants. The discussion leader selects the paper to be read. The discussion leader asks the participants for discussion points at the beginning of a meeting, and then makes sure that the majority of discussion points is addressed during the meeting.

All participants are supposed to read the selected paper carefully, writing down comments and questions they would like to discuss in the meeting.

The PRG is open to motivated students. If you are interested in participating, contact Daniel Strüber.
