Self-Organised Activities (Outside Official Conference Premises)
Please note: The following activities are self-organised. They should take place outside the main conference venue. They are not part
of the formal conference programme but may contribute to informal networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
10:00-12:00 Thematic Walking Groups (Self-Organised)
Participants may form small groups based on shared research interests (e.g., sustainability, digital inclusion, public policy) and
explore local sites of relevance (e.g., libraries, community spaces, museums), while engaging in informal discussions.
12:00-14:00 Informal Networking Lunch (Various Local Cafés/Restaurants)
Participants are encouraged to connect over lunch in small, mixed-discipline groups. Organisers may suggest nearby spots upon
request for convenience.
14:30-16:00 Peer-Led Exchange Sessions (Open Spaces/Public Venues)
Participants may host or join informal micro-sessions, such as knowledge cafés, mentoring circles, or open dialogues. Topics maybe
proposed by attendees via a shared document prior to Day 3.
16:00 – Evening Cultural Exploration & Social Gathering (Self-Organised)
Options include museum visits, walking tours, or local events. Small groups may choose to attend together. Evening meet-ups can be
arranged spontaneously via the shared group chat.
