Right after this Meetup, we remember a relevant session for everyone that will take place at 6pm. It will be the second session of the cycle “PLAN D: what to do after the PhD?”, With Tiago Gama Rocha, Invited Assistant Professor at FEUP (Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto) and ISMAI (Instituto Universitário da Maia).

Please access the Easychair platform for submissions and more detailed information about the structure of the extended abstracts.
