What if I am a first-year Ph.D. student and I do not have data to present?

We strongly encourage you to present a poster about your general project idea even if it is only background information and experimental plans.

Career Day

Can I attend more than one workshop?

Maybe. On the one hand, we want to prevent overloading the workshops, on the other hand, we want to allow a maximum of people to take advantage of them. Depending on the final capacity of each workshop, we might be able to admit more people. More information will be shared with you during the symposium. Also, keep in mind that career chats and the job fair will be running in parallel.
