First Workshop: Ghent. 26-27 June 2012

The first workshop of the MIBISOC training network will take place in the Convention Centre “Het Pand” at University of Ghent on June 26th and 27th, 2012.

In the workshop all ESRs will show their research progresses and results through presentations of half an hour. Open discussions will be established at the end of each presentations. Additionally to the ESRs, senior researchers of the network participants and of the associated partners will attend this workshop in order to provide advice and suggestions to the ESRs.
