Workshops
Workshops are interactive discussions about specific aspects of measuring techniques. Examples could be a discussion of requirements of a new feature of a program like a software event recorder with a group of users, discussion between manufacturers of data acquisition equipment to agree on a data exchange format, or discussion between usability testers and people measuring consumer behavior to see what can be learnt from each other's methodology.
Workshops are a forum where the multidisciplinary nature of Measuring Behavior can give a big advantage. Participants are normally asked to prepare and submit material in advance for the workshop and numbers can be limited to enable good interactive discussion.
EU FP7 projects
For international collaboration projects (e.g. EU FP7 projects), a workshop is an excellent format to present and discuss "work in progress" with an interdisciplinary audience from diverse application domains. Such an event not only allows a consortium to collect valuable feedback to their project, it also helps to meet the dissemination and knowledge transfer objectives that are an integral part of most publicly funded projects.
