We were honoured to host professor Jochen Peter from University of Amsterdam in Brno. Jochen Peter is one of the most prominent researchers in the field of online communication and a member of advisory board for our research project Modelling the Future (FUTURE). On Monday, we discussed theoretical and methodological challenges of the FUTURE project. In the evening, we continued this fruitful discussion over some beers and traditional St. Martin's roasted goose. On Tuesday professor Peter provided valuable insights in one-to-one meetings with IRTIS members.
