Heads up, Freiburg students!

We are still looking for student helpers for our conference, which will take place from Friday 19 - Saturday 20 October 2018 with the following workshifts:
Friday 9.00-14.30 & 14.30-20.00
Saturday 8.30-14.00 & 14.00-19.30

Tasks will include setting up the venue, serving as receptionists handing out conference packages & being available for all sorts of questions speakers or participants might have, technical support, catering and (possibly) chairing panels. We will have a steering meeting earlier on in the week of the conference to talk you through the specific tasks and distribute them according to your preferences.

If you are interested in helping us out and getting an idea of what goes on behind the scenes while earning some credits (M9 for MiBNACS), please write us an email to [email protected] and let us know at which of the above times you will be available until 15 September. No prior experience required!

We are looking forward to hearing from you! 🧙‍♂️
