Virtual project meeting Sep 30 - Oct 01, 2021

 

Our first content related virtual project meeting is now set for the 30th of September - 1st of October 2021. In the context of this meeting all project members will come together virtually to present their first results. Within the scope of this meeting, especially the young researchers (doctoral students, postdocs) shall be given the opportunity to present themselves and their projects to the community.
