How did the funding help?
The funding was very helpful in allowing us to just try out the project idea. In contrast to other funding applications, this application was really simple and accessible so that the path from the idea to its realization was very short.
What advice would you give other researchers who wish to organize a discussion?
Actually, it is just like doing research: it depends on precisely identifying your own topic and the research question. It is the same in research communication: the more concrete the line of inquiry and the target group, the easier it is to inspire good discussion.
And it is worth just trying it out. Thanks to the exchange, I now understand much better how musicians tick. You can learn a lot and have a lot of fun at this kind of discussion. You can also reflect anew upon your research, and I found that very motivating—so just do it!
