Daily Feedback

The purpose of this feedback exercise is to help shape a collective view on the research presented in ESCAMPIG – it’s particularly important to hear from delegates who perhaps were not able to participate in the discussions during the proceedings. The responses to the electronic questionnaire will contribute towards shaping the forward vision of our subject.

For practical reasons, we must collect this information electronically, via a published web link (see below). We will present a summary of the outputs in the form of a short slide show (3 powerpoint slides with the summarised feedback on each of the topic areas) at the 08:45-09:00 slot at the start of Thursday, Friday and Saturday sessions, and repeated at break times. We will also try to provide a printed poster containing more detail to be displayed in the poster area.


There are 3 key themes for the feedback, which will help shape the analysis:

Impact:  what plasma results excited or impressed you today? It doesn’t matter if the most striking topic is one that is apparently well established: the value here is in the ‘wow’ factor.

Frontier: here we are looking for where research is being pushed to the limit, coming up against the limits of theory, observation or instrument performance. Where are the tantalising edges of the subject that if addressed, could help us make a leap in understanding?

Action: the ‘if only we could do xxx’ topic – what capacity (experimental, theoretical, observational) would be most beneficial to make a breakthrough, answering the ‘frontier’ type questions. Maybe it’s an experimental facility, maybe it’s the principle of a new cross-disciplinary collaboration, perhaps an area of mathematics or numerical work that, if cracked, could yield the sort of progress we need.

Feedback is now finished - thanks for all your contributions!
