Graduate student workshop 2010

Now it is time for the traditional workshop that is set up for all enrolled students in the soft matter graduate school. The aim with this workshop is to give everyone a chance to present and discuss their research project with other PhD students and professors. The invited professors will participate during all days and each of them will give an inspiring presentation in their research field. As in a regular conference all participants are asked to send in an abstract (no more than one page) that will be put into a program.

Beside all interesting science the purpose of the workshop is to get together and have a good time with great food in a nice environment and of course fun activities.

All students in the soft matter graduate school are invited to the workshop which is free of charge. The participants are recommended of the graduate school to receive 1.5 credits (ECTS).
