Young Researchers Doctoral Workshop

In this sense, we underline the work carried out this year by Clare Twigger-Ross, Giuseppe Carrus, Hartmut Günther and Petra Schweizer-Ries. They coordinated excellently the Young Researchers Doctoral Workshop, where PhD students from different parts of the world could contrast their work with other students and be advised by senior experts in the specific field of their specialities. Congratulations for the Organizing Committee!
