BZT = Bloed Zweet en Tranen (Blood, Sweat, and Tears)

08-Nov-2024 | Twente University

About the event

One-day event for the PhD and Postdoc Community of the Burgerscentrum

Organized by PhD students Pim Dekker and Coen Verschuur

When: Friday, 8th November,  (start at 10 am)

(Note that this is the day after the Burgerscentrum Course on Experimental Techniques in Fluid Mechanics, 4-7 Nov. in Twente)

Venue: Twente  University

Title:

BZT = Bloed zweet en tranen (blood, sweat and tears)

 

Purpose:

The purpose of this day is twofold:

  1. It is to exchange valuable knowledge and experience that might help other PhD students/post-docs/etc. (Such as experimental/numerical struggles, and how they were overcome, which are usually not shown in presentations/papers)

  2. To present a topic on which you are stuck and want help/suggestions from other PhD students/post-docs/etc.

This is NOT another Burgers Symposium, where you present only nice pictures and nice results. The focus is to help others by sharing what goes on behind the scenes and by sharing interesting details/complications that usually do not make it into the talks.

The exact program is not known yet, but the idea is to structure the day something like this:

  • Morning: Plenary/parallel sessions or pitches, such that everyone gets an opportunity to present their problem.

  • Afternoon: Make smaller groups with people who are dealing with similar problems/topics to discuss and exchange ideas and struggles.
