research groups. All early career researchers
(PGR and Post docs) are welcome to hear
from experts and join in the discussion to find
out how the community can benefit from and
actively participate in on-going projects. In the
second half, there will be an online speed dating
session with other researchers across the world.
Don’t miss this chance to network live, find out
