Talks at Universities, travel home.

During the workshop days, we will repeat the following procedure, helping the attendees to get into productive work. In the morning each participant will give a brief, 2 minute introduction of his/her own work. After this, pairs of two will be made that join together for pair programming. The goal for one day is, to bring together the two Semantic Web projects of the pair. At the end of the day, each pair will give a longer explanation of their results - in a 15 minute showcase and demo. Focus is not on completed work, but on the idea and to bring people together based on their interests. We encourage people to build different teams each day, to get connected to more people.
