Organisers 2009
The organising and planning of the BOBCATSSS 2009 symposium is a joint venture between two countries, two universities and two groups of people. The teams from Portugal and Finland work together to realise the goal of creating a place where minds can meet and new ideas can be formed.
Team Tampere handles the accounts, web pages and registration. Team Porto takes care of designing the programme, visual identity on location and posters, facilities, catering, hostel offerings and transportation. Working together we will for example evaluate the papers, send the call for papers announcement, find sponsors and handle publicity and public relations.
