PhD RETREAT
SEMM students from the different school sites will get together to attend scientific and career sessions. They will share research with their peers during the poster sessions and short talks, meet the key note speakers, establish networks, identify non-canonical career paths, learn about dissemination of science to the public and much more.
This event is totally organized by the SEMM students supported by the SEMM office.
THE 2024 RETREAT WAS HELD ON 18-19 NOVEMBER
