Notes from the Discussion by Birgit Schneider:

• 5 lectures per day are too much. It would be nice to have tutorials/exercises in between for diversion.
• 1 hour lunch break is enough in Berlin. If a lecture finishes earlier, we are fine with starting the next lecture earlier instead of making super long breaks.
  • We would like to have 45 min lectures + 15 min coffee breaks.
    • Coffee is needed after lunch.
• The concept of the tutorials is nice. We would like to see more of this. It was good that we could choose between two topics.
• Please use a microphone when it's noisy outside.
• The internet in the guest house was not very good and only accessible with a LAN-cable. But it was nice that the guest house is very near to the Block course location.
• The time Monday lunch - Thursday evening for the Berlin Block course is nice. Please keep it like that.
• For the Block course in Rathen 2017 we would like to change the topic "Dark Matter at LHC" to "Dark Matter experiments". If possible add exercises to the lectures.
• We want to do a student for student lecture. We try to come up with a clear plan for this as soon as possible.
• Topic suggestions for the Block course Berlin 2017:
  • Gravitational waves
  • Gauge theory (in curved space time)
  • General Relativity
  • Statistics
  • Computational engineering
  • Black holes
  • Loop quantum gravity
  • Linear colliders
  • Astroparticle physics
  • Renormalization

17:00 → 17:15 Coffee Break

17:15 → 18:00 Final open Discussion

Speaker: Dr Martin zur Nedden (Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin)
