Annual Research Symposium
Thank you!
Thank you for a remarkable Symposium.
With a full auditorium and a strong online presence, we had the pleasure of hosting 20 research group presentations and two invited talks, delivered over six multidisciplinary sessions.
We also had the opportunity to engage in plenty of networking, along with three lively poster and demo sessions that kept the energy high and the conversations flowing.
A sound success that was only possible thanks to the commitment and engagement of our entire community. Thank you!
