Preparation panel discussion

In our second last session, we are planning a panel discussion on the question: Does the “2-degrees-limit” make sense? How certain are we that we can reach it?” Subtitle: Discussion in the seminar “Uncertain 2 Degrees”. The panel discussion will take place on 5th July from 10 to 12 for about 60 min with up to 5 panellists representing different perspectives. After the panel discussion, we will have some time to to reflect on what we experienced and what we learned from the panel discussion.

To prepare the panel discussion, we want you to engage in the following tasks. Keep in mind to work as a team and to delegate tasks.

  1. Due: 31st May
  • Think about and suggest interesting panellists, particularly here from Hamburg.
  • Think about a suitable moderator.
  • Think about a to-do-list to advertise the panel discussion. (Who should we contact? How wide should the audience be…). Make points on what needs to be done.
  • Note other issues or questions related to panel discussions (drinks for panellists, technique, special requests of panellists…)

Please think about these organizational issues with care and use this chance to practice organizing small events. You will encounter similar situations over again in your further work-life.

  1. Due: 5th July
  • All of you should prepare at least one interesting question to the panellists.

If you run into any problems, please contact Maike Scheffold (maike.scheffold@uni-hamburg.de) by 28th May.
