About the meeting
The WISE Welcome Meeting is organized for newcomers to the WISE community. The Welcome Meeting 2024 will be held in Norrköping from 26-27 August. The primary objective is to introduce new members to the WISE organization and provide an opportunity to network and learn about each other’s projects, especially the graduate school activities such as courses, summer schools, and study trips. We have also invited speakers from the industry and the newly established WIRAs.
Additionally, the meeting will feature pitches and poster sessions where all new PhD students and postdocs will present their projects. This year’s event will take place at the Louis De Geer Conference Center in Norrköping, with a planned visit to the renowned Norrköping Visualization Center.
PIs with new PhD students or postdocs on their team are warmly invited to join us once again.

Poster Session
All new PhD students and postdocs are required to present their projects during the poster session. You may seek assistance from your PI if you do not wish to present alone. Instructions for the design of your poster can be found here (link).
You are responsible for printing your poster and bringing it to Norrköping for display at the designated poster session area. Posters will be numbered and should be placed on the poster wall according to the assigned number. Please follow the on-site instructions.
An email with a link for uploading your poster will be sent to all participants, along with instructions on how to upload your poster digitally. WISE will then ensure that the poster is available in the digital poster catalog on the WISE intranet. Finally, a prize will be awarded for the best poster.
