===== Wednesday (MCh) Meetings =====

<wrap em>Every Wednesday at 11:00</wrap> (unless specified otherwise), there is scheduled an MCh-internal meeting. The meeting is usually held in a mixed online/in-person format, and consists of two main parts - organizational (what needs to be addressed at the institute etc.) and scientific (a presentation of research work etc.).

The scientific talk should not exceed 15 minutes (ca. 15 slides), and it is expected to be followed by a discussion in a spirit of a standard conference talk. As it is an internal talk, always start with your RQs.
