This is a wiki system (originally on PmWiki but now moved here) to faciliate rapid documentation. Please feel free to contribute, if personal comments are added a name should be given. We invite also people that were not part of the meeting to include their thoughts. General disussion can always be included at the end of pages or on separate pages.
In ancient Greece, the symposium, from sympinein, Greek “to drink together”, was a drinking party.

Yet this is not the main reason why we organise a small, spontaneous meeting in Leipzig (Germany) Fri-Sun 24th-26th June. Our aim is to build a friendly and joyful space to get in touch, offering a largely open schedule for everyone to fully participate, and to create a format that fosters creativity for all kinds of aspiration. As a result we hope to get valuable inputs for future activities of the BRCP and set foundations for an ongoing dialogue. The target audience are primarily members of the BRCP, potential future members, as well as friends and colleagues. If you wish (want) to contribute anything in a conceivable format, please inform us when signing up. There are no thematic restrictions, consequently, all inputs are suitable that could direct activities and form the prospective culture of the BRCP.
