Unkempt Lectures

What are “Unkempt Lectures” in principle?

They are intended to be a forum that is difficult to find during scientific conferences, seminars, and other highly formalized meetings. They allow for the presentation of not only completed works with specific conclusions, but also works in progress, ideas for future projects, or simply topics of interest. Most importantly, the form of the presentation can be completely informal, depending on the author’s preference.

Who can be an author or participant in the “Unkempt Lectures”?

Everyone!

As the patron of the “Uncombed Lectures”, Stanisław Jerzy Lec (author of “Unkempt Thoughts”), said: “Let’s exchange thoughts, and maybe we’ll discover some meaning!”

Shared interests and collaborative discussions can lead to the formation of new research groups, uniting individuals from various centers with diverse specializations.

What is the main premise and goal of the “Unkempt Lectures”?

Our meetings aim to transform existing dynamics by creating a space where speakers can engage the audience with questions while presenting their material.

We have all faced difficulties interpreting results or had doubts about assumptions. This forum is precisely for consulting these issues with experts and practitioners from the industry who have more experience or have encountered similar challenges.

What is the main advantage of “Unkempt Lectures”?

Many people, especially those at the beginning of their professional or scientific careers, share a common experience: stress about public speaking.

The creators intend for this forum to be completely free of that tension. The forum is intended to be a casual conversation among people with similar interests. The presenter’s main goal is to share their passion, and the audience is willing to contribute their knowledge and experience. This form of support and informal exchange is believed to be particularly needed in today’s world.

The essence and strength of “Unkempt Lectures” are reciprocity and empathy. The long-term survival of this idea depends solely on the active participation of two pillars: authors presenting their materials and an audience willing to share experiences.
