When: 20 September, 2024

Where: at LINXS (Scheelevägen 19, Lund), workshop room on the 5th floor.

Cost: Free of charge (Note: A no-show fee of 200 SEK will be charged)

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.
