Dear Sascha, dear all,

I have a couple of questions, as I don’t know if I understand correctly what you propose.

Basically, I am missing out on how we will work this afternoon. Do we have a meeting at the beginning to discuss what we plan to do and at the end to communicate the results and the estimated remaining time, or we meet only at the end, or no group meeting at all and we will send you the info via e-mail after we finish the chapter internal discussions?

 

@Philipp, Felix: can we meet this afternoon to discuss the status of the chapter? I am doing some diagrams to ease the discussion and help us spot missing things.

 

Best,

Andrea

Subject: [Life-eth-intern] LIFE@ETH tomorrow

Dear all,

 

for the LIFE@ETH meeting tomorrow I would suggest that we do not use the slot for another roundtable update.

 

Rather, as discussed last week, one of the major goals has to be the finalisation of the Study Proposal. Hence I would suggest that Chapter Captains are in charge of reaching out to other Team members as needed to organize some of the remaining discussions tomorrow afternoon. Note that this might also apply to across-chapter discussions. The meeting room is reserved and we can also go down to the COPL offices in case we need to spread out more. So, please be pro-active and organize what is needed to move things forward. 

 

Also, could I please get from all Chapter Captains a short heads-up, when the first draft of their chapters is done, so that we can start with cross-reading and homogenizing? I know that some of you are already done, but I want to make sure I have the full picture. Very soon we can then go back to the work-packages and get them organized and prioritized - which is one of the main things for the preparation of the study. 

 

Thanks 

Sascha

 

PS: I attach - FYI - the Letter of Intent from Beyond Gravity. Please do not share further, but it is an interesting read ;)
