Specialties of EPCSpecialties of EPC "sprint" sessions
two-day or three-day focused development session maximum of 10 developers pair off together in a room focus on building a particular subsystem Very effective and efficient !
“Lightning talks” Presentations/demos created “on-the-spot”
Max. 5 min (strictly controlled) Inspired by other talks, presentations, talking to people

I followed mainly the “science” track
Mainly from bio/chem sector
Lot of interesting stuff Can only show some items :-( only some talks uploaded on the web site
