Early Career Researcher's Meeting

Organizer: VIA Verlag

Following the Light Symposium Wismar 2016, an Early Career Researcher's Meeting will take place on 15. October, 2016 in Wismar. The meeting will gather interested pre-docs (and post-docs) for a discussion on the status quo and the next steps to be taken to structure the lighting research landscape and address the need for more coherence between research universities and PhD candidates. Finding ways to communicate research findings and the possibility of creating a research database will also be points for discussion. For more information please contact aritter@via-internet.com.
