Welcome Meeting 2023 – a success
Welcome Meeting 2023 sparked networking and exciting discussions. On 28-30 August more than 200 WISE researchers and distinguished guests gathered at Vildmarkshotellet in Kolmården, outside of Norrköping.
The event was a great opportunity for the new PhDs and Postdocs to meet other researchers and to get an introduction to the goals and status of WISE.
Over the three-day event, the participants got to listen to presentations given by representatives from industry and academia. There was also a poster session that gave ample opportunities for further networking and discussions.
