WPI-SKCM² Symposium for Young Scientists in Europe
Date
Saturday, October 14, 2023
9:30 – 16:00 CET / 16:30 – 23:00 JST (subject to change)
The Main Scope
This symposium will bring together young researchers in Europe to experience a new research paradigm of interlinking knots and chirality. The International Institute for Sustainability with Knotted Chiral Meta Matter (SKCM2) is the unique place for conducting highly fundamental and interdisciplinary research and offering young researchers excellent opportunities to extend their intellectual horizons. The symposium will consist of an overview session introducing the missions and opportunities at SKCM2 and a Q&A panel discussion, followed by a poster session and a light lunch.
