The intention of the meetings is to keep up to date with the group members’ activities, share relevant information, help with the preparation of presentations/paper writing, discuss the state-of-the art, and do activities together as a group. We keep the meetings hybrid so that you can join remotely if you can’t join us on-site. The meetings are generally scheduled for the second-to-last Thursday of the month.
