We believe in creating a safe and comfortable environment for our PhD researchers. We mainly do this by organizing internal events where we can discuss the experience and struggles of being an academic and plan to attend conferences together where applicable.
Please notify us by e-mail if you have an event that requires our attention or if you need a domain expert on any topic that we cover.
