Monthly seminars
Once every two months we meet online to present and discuss our research projects. Each meeting consists of one or two presentations (15-20 mins) followed by questions and suggestions (10-15 mins). Any member of the network can volunteer to present their project and you do not need to have any results yet. The idea is more to spread the word about the type of research you are doing and to receive feedback from peers who might be working on something similar. Therefore, you are welcome to talk about issues that you have encountered so far in your project.
