  • to improve note-taking and reporting skills, to be able to structure and write-up an abstract
  • to work as a team on joint projects
  • to learn to convince others of the value of one's research interests and to answer questions constructively, taking into account the specificity of once's audience
  • to understand the value of sharing a joint technical and scientific culture in a multicultural context
