Program

We’re excited to present the final program for Welcome Meeting 2025, a special two-day event dedicated to all newcomers to the WISE community. This gathering marks the beginning of your journey with WISE—an opportunity to meet fellow researchers, explore each other’s work, and get to know the dynamic network that defines our organization. Over the course of the event, you’ll be introduced to the WISE Research School and its unique offerings, including exclusive courses, international summer schools, and immersive study trips. We can’t wait to welcome you!
