NB : How Ashira and Luisa organised the DEMO Lunch seminar :
The DEMO lunch seminars are organised roughly every two/three weeks during two semesters (September- December, and January-June), by one/two members of DEMO. They include presentations both from DEMO members who would like to share their work, get feedback on projects, new members who present their previous work etc., as well as from colleagues who are visiting, and other researchers who are often invited by the organisers.
Organisation of the seminars requires going through the following steps:
a. In advance, when organizing the programme
1. Find suitable dates for the seminars. Ensure the programme does not clash with holidays, big conferences when the centre might be empty, the midis pédagogique, or (possibly) the Conseils.
2. Identify and contact the potential presenters: when in agreement, obtain the title (and preferably already short abstract), and set the date of the presentation (suggested by you, according to the programme). Presenters should be able to come in person (and if from out of Belgium, DEMO needs to be able to cover travel expenses – ask Bruno S.).
3. Book the room (helpful if the same room for all dates). L190 is preferred because it’s on the DEMO floor, it has sufficient technology installed, and you can ask Isabelle for the reservation. An alternative is L80. Advantages: it has a good size, with sufficient technology installed. Disadvantages: sometimes the screen is not very legible, is not on the same DEMO floor. To book the room fill in this online form. (And if any problems, this is the mail to contact: auditoirelln-gplo@uclouvain.be).
4. Create and share the provisional programme with DEMO members, and ask Isabelle to put it up on DEMO website also, and print and put up in corridors of centre.
5. Organize Zoom meetings for all presentations
6. Hang a sign-up sheet for sandwiches in the cafeteria

b. Two-three weeks before each presentation
1. Confirm one has the final title and a short abstract (150 words) from presenter. We need it to write the invite to the seminar (2 weeks in advance).
2. Send the title and abstract to Valérie*. Ask her to create the invite and send the request to the communication admin (crm@uclouvain.be), to distribute the invite (html format) for the midi.
3. Ask Valérie to organize travel for presenters (train tickets and accommodation only if necessary)
4. Once the invite is out, share the invite with the presenter if not a member of DEMO, and clarify the timing, and format (eg. in person, on Zoom, 30-minute presentation-15 minute discussion), and put in contact with the person to organize travel details if necessary (reimbursement, where to park etc.)

*In case Valérie is absent you can email the communication admin. Email should be sent a couple of days before the invite is sent out, and should note the following:
Le nom et l'email de l'expéditeur (Centre de Recherche en Démographie, prenom.nom@uclouvain.be )
Le nom et l'email qui recevra les "reply" (ashira.menashe-oren@uclouvain.be, luisa.fadel@uclouvain.be)
L'objet de la communication: Invitation midi de la recherche du day month year
Le public auquel envoyer la communication : liste « Centre demo – midis de la recherche »
Le contenu de votre email en format html (cf. ci-joint).
The html attachment (the invite) should include the logo of UClouvain, the logo of DEMO, the date of the seminar, time, place, name of presenter and affiliation, title and abstract of presentation, link to Zoom for online attendees, contact details, and explanation of the seminars at bottom (eg. Le Centre DEMO organise des séminaires à fréquence régulière (2 à 3 fois par mois) sous le nom de «Midi de la Recherche». Ces séminaires ont lieu sur le temps du midi, généralement le mardi ou le jeudi de 13h00 à 13h45. Le séminaire est ouvert à tout public intéressé par le sujet. Le programme est annoncé régulièrement par un courrier électronique. Il est également disponible sur le site web du Centre).

c. On the week of the presentation
1. A day before the midi, send a reminder to DEMO.
2. On the day of the presentation, buy sandwiches (provider: La Sandwicherie). Always ask for the receipt for payment/reimbursement.
3. Welcome the presenter if not a DEMO member (you could provide your number in case of need the day before).
4. Set the room: bring your laptop, connect the screen, start the Zoom meeting (check for people in the waiting room), etc.
5. Make a list of all participants.

d. Every second seminar
1. If you paid for the sandwiches, fill out a note de frais for reimbursement. Address it to David Van Wemmel (Finance) and Bruno Schoumaker for approval. Attach sandwich receipts along with the list of participants.
