20 Juin 2024
LIVES wants to know what its alumni have become! For this reason, we are organizing a LIVES symposium for alumni and members at the University of Lausanne on Thursday, 20 June 2024 (afternoon), followed by drinks and finger food. Registration is compulsory, see the form below.
The symposium consists of presentations and panel discussions on projects and careers in both science and practice. Our aim is to strengthen the LIVES alumni network by bringing together past and present LIVES researchers.
The event is free of charge and there will be plenty of time to catch up with old colleagues over coffee (in the afternoon) and drinks (in the evening).
Please use the form below to register until 12 June.
