聽說，國外一些高校經(jīng)常會辦brown bag session（午餐研討會），大家一邊吃著午飯，一邊聽教授們說說最新的研究項目進展、新興課題什么的，吃飽肚子的同時，腦袋也充實了不少。
A brown bag seminar or session is generally a training or information session during a lunch break. Brown bag is a symbol for meals brought along by the attendees, or provided by the host. In the USA, those are often packed in brown paper bags. Brown bag seminars normally run an hour or two.
午餐研討會（brown bag seminar/session）就是在午餐時間進行的培訓或信息共享會。Brown bag（棕色袋子）代表參與者自帶或者主辦方提供的午餐。因為在美國，午餐盒飯多半都裝在棕色紙袋里。午餐研討會通常都持續(xù)一到兩個小時。
The aim is to use regular breaks, e.g. the lunch break, to provide some information to the attendees in a voluntary and informal setting. It is often followed by a discussion of the topic. They are an interesting medium for knowledge management and internal communications.
午餐研討會的目的是利用午餐休息時間以自發(fā)的、非正式的方式為參與者提供一些信息。信息分享之后一般都會就某個話題進行討論。這是知識管理和內部交流的一種有趣媒介。
In universities, especially for graduate students, brown bag seminars are often offered to update the researching community about ongoing research. Usually held by schools, universities and governmental institutions, they involve lectures, presentations, or talks by researchers, mostly professors about their ongoing research.
高校尤其會針對研究生舉行這樣的研討會來讓大家了解最新的研究。這些研討會通常由學院、大學和政府機構主辦，采用講座、演示或研究人員的發(fā)言等形式，多數(shù)都是一些教授介紹他們正在進行的研究。
