Abstract
Meet your peers in a friendly, informal way, through discussions in groups of 2-3 persons with pairings changing after a fixed time span of a few minutes.
OR is a team business, and knowing people you can turn to for ideas, feedback and support makes all the difference. But it is not always easy building your network, especially if you are shy or feel that you are an outsider. This welcoming session is a way of overcoming the barriers to networking, and enjoying yourself while you do it.
If you cannot make it for the full duration of the session: discussion groups are reforming every couple of minutes, so joining the session after its start or leaving early will not be a problem. You may find it easier if you come with an idea of how you can introduce yourself to others in just two minutes (for example, you may wish to touch on your specific interests, any experiences you wish to share, or also any topics you particularly wish to hear about). But don't worry if you don't have time to prepare – you'll soon pick it up.
