A cup of coffee, a book, a relescope

A New Monday Morning Coffee?

Invitation

Our monthly Monday Morning Coffee online meetings have been a long running and successful format for Universeum members and others to meet, share experiences, exchange ideas and sometimes just to chat. As the organising crew, the Working Group Digital Initiatives, is disbanding, the Universeum Board has decided that we will continue the format as a proper Universeum format. At the same time, we would like to improve the format.

For that, we invite you to join us for planning together the “new” Monday Morning Coffee. At our last meeting in December, we already brainstormed some ideas:

  • We definitely want to keep the spontaneous „open mike“ vibe
  • But we are also interested in themed sessions, prepared by one or more members. These could
    • be presentations about a specific project
    • be organised by specific groups, like from universities or (national) networks
    • ask professional questions
    • be a platform for the Universeum working groups
    • and much more

There could also be maybe slightly longer Monday Morning Coffee Special Evening Sessions for specific themes or presentations.

I would like to invite you to two special online meetings, where we develop these ideas further and set up together a road map for 2025. Two meetings, because not everybody has time Monday mornings at 10 a.m.

These special Monday Morning Coffee meetings are:

  • Monday, 10 March 2025, 10 a.m. (Paris time zone, 9 a.m. London/Lisbon, 11 a.m. Athens)
  • Wednesday, 19 March 2025, 16 p.m. (Paris, 15 p.m. London/Lisbon, 17 p.m. Athens)

We are meeting here:

After these meetings, we will publish our ideas and plans and open them for further feedback. We are looking forward to meeting you!
