In a PICO (Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome)-session, presenters pitch their research in 2 minutes. After the pitches, session participants can visit presenters of their choice, who present their research in more detail using screens that act as interactive posters. A PICO session provides the opportunity to light out a wide variety of research, with plenty of room for discussion. This set-up is ideal for presenting starting research or student research.

Lorenz stipendium

At this first PICO session on spatio-temporal dimensions in interactions in socio-ecological systems, four students took part. Their participation was financed from the Lorenz stipendium, which the parents of OU-student Lorenz Dierckx (BSc milieu-natuurwetenschappen), who recently passed away, had made available to promote climate research by students. The general enthusiastic response to the PICO, makes this set-up worth repeating.
