<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>please find below the second call for participation to the ESAO
Launch Day, that you are free to distribute around.</p>
<p>We will be making tests regarding the hybrid technical set-up,
especially for the bar camp, on Sept 8, 9:30-11:00 CEST.</p>
<p>Cassia will remotely handle the zoom session, she'll send us the
links for the test in time.</p>
<p>Oliver will handle the physical set-up onsite (possibly with
others). He will also recruit students for increasing the size of
the bar camp test.</p>
<p>Please reply to Cassia, Frank, Oliver and myself regarding your
availability for this test.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

IAOA [2] has worked on a new educational effort under the
name Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) that shall
be suited for learning about topics of Applied Ontology,
primarily established basics and foundations. The series is
inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied Ontology
(ISAO) (cf. [3]; next edition in 2023), but -- in times of the
Corona pandemic -- it is complementary in format and
its overall approach. The basic idea is a combination of an
archive of educational material (for the beginning, short
video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and
discussing that material.<br style="color:rgb(32, 31,

includes a Launch Event for this new series, which offers a

The ESAO Launch Day will be held in hybrid format on Sep 10,
2021 (Friday), preceding the FOIS conference (Sep 13-16, 2021)

the audience can join locally or remotely. The Launch Day as
well as the overall ESAO Series is open for and welcomes
students, researchers and practitioners alike.</div>
