FOR2722 Seminar Series
The FOR2722 seminar series has proven to be a vital platform, serving as a dynamic forum where project partners and junior researchers can present, discuss, and receive valuable feedback on their work. The inclusion of both national and international speakers ensures that FOR2722 members stay well-informed about the latest advancements in the field and facilitates the establishment of connections and collaborations. The series, which also features a get-together for PhD students after the seminar, has been instrumental in providing face-to-face interactions that are essential for building relationships and forging collaborations with internal and external researchers.
