Reykjavík University
8.15-17.00 hrs.
Dinner: 17.30 – 21.00
Theme of the day: Sleep Revolution: how is our project going?
We want to give all participants in the General Assembly the opportunity to try out and test sleep measuring (self-applied polysomnography) devices themselves. During the day there will be an option to visit our sleep lab and get user instructions and the equipment bag to use overnight and return on Tuesday the 23rd of May (and get practical on-side training about this equipment).
Evening program:
After we finished our program at 17.00 hrs everyone gets the opportunity for a short break before we have dinner which starts at around 17.30. The dinner will be served in room ´Olympus´ on the 3rd floor of the University (follow the signs for General Assembly participants).
Around the university is a nice area with walking paths and nice views for those who want to go out a little bit. There is also a geothermical beach where you can swim in heated sea water or enjoy a hottub with salt water. Evenings in late May are always bright until late in the evening so there is definitely an option to enjoy these surroundings after dinner as well.
Participants: Open to all Sleep Revolution Consortium partners and their affiliates.

For those who do not have an active part in practical research (and people of their institute taking part in the workshops), this will be a ´free morning´. It is then optional to network with other colleagues, plan in appointments with the Icelandic Team of the Sleep Revolution (not involved in the workshops) or use the time to collaborate and work together. We start the day at 09.00hrs. with a kick-off and at 12.00hrs. everyone will meet to have lunch together.
