Doctoral Workshop at Twente

University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

The sixth workshop of our doctoral college was organized by the team of Hans Zwart, Silke Glas, Alexander Wierzba, Federico Califano and Lynda Wychgel at the University of Twente, Enschede from Wednesday, 16 October till Friday, 18 October 2024. 

25 PhD students (21 of them inscribed in the doctoral college), 1 Master student and 18 postdocs and professors gathered for a rich scientific program in the U Parkhotel on the campus of University of Twente. The main ingredients were 3 senior researchers' talks, 13 doctoral presentations and, two interactive sessions, complemented by tours through the robotics lab (Stefano Stramigioli and his team) and on the campus, discovering art and architecture (Hans Zwart). As usual, the two interactive sessions gave rise to vivid discussions, continued during the coffee breaks and at at the meals. Hans Zwart gave a short introduction to the Dutch science system and the career paths for postdocs, and during the evening bowling session, the participants could demonstrate their skills.

Thanks a lot for the perfect organization, and the exciting, inspiring and beautiful 3 days!
