Dear all, I'd like to establish a monthly townhall meeting to foster communication and discussion, with an informal agenda that includes but is not limited to: - Research updates - Progress updates on student projects - Conference and travel reports - New ideas proposals - Teaching updates - Administrative updates - Any other business and open discussion I propose to do it online to make sure most of us are on board for each meeting. A possible slot could be Thursday afternoon 15:00 - 17:00, meeting the first Thursday of the month. We might have to reschedule from time to time, of course, but I'd like to keep it as regular as possible.. If there are any strong objections against the "first Thursday / month  -- 15:00 to 17:00" proposal, please let me know by the end of the week. Best, Timo
