Program
To foster dynamic exchange and strong networking, our seminar series will feature two speakers per monthly session. Each presentation will be a concise 20-minute talk, immediately followed by a lively 10-minute discussion period, allowing for focused interaction on the latest advancements.
We strongly believe that collaboration thrives in an informal setting. Therefore, following each session, all participants are warmly invited to stay for a friendly shared meal and drinks. To attend the next session, please register via the registration page!
