Summary
As in previous years, this retreat is dedicated exclusively to early-career researchers, including Master’s and PhD students as well as postdoctoral researchers. All participants are encouraged to present their own research and to engage in discussion with other young scientists from the cluster in a relaxed and open atmosphere. The presentations are intended to provide an overview of the diverse research areas within the cluster and to foster new collaborations. In addition to the scientific program, some fun activities will provide great opportunities to get in touch with each other.
