Description
At the symposium, early-career scientists in Soft Matter can connect, share ideas, and attend engaging scientific presentations. This is the second year this symposium is held. Don't forget to bring your poster for a chance to win in the poster-prize contest! There will also be 1-minute flash-presentations during the day where you get to present your poster.
Who can benefit: PhD-students, post-doctoral fellows and other early career scientists who use, or are interested in using, X-rays and neutrons in their research. The event is physical at LINXS so early-career researchers have the chance to meet and network.
