SCI Science Workshop #11

 

Akersloot, Netherlands

5-7 Nov 2018

 

Overview

The 11th Science Workshop (SSW) will take place from the afternoon of Nov 5 until the afternoon of Nov 7 2018 in the van der Valk hotel in Akersloot, which lies some 30 km north of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The main purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the science research that scientists in SCI (especially SCI-S and SCI-O) are doing. It is an opportunity to “stretch” our abilities by trying to understand topics which we do not normally follow. It allows us to broaden our skill set and foster inter-site as well as inter-project cooperation in research activities. As per the experience gained in the previous few such meetings, this year’s is also being arranged off-site and on a residential basis as this additionally gives us the opportunity to get to know our colleagues better.

 

Organising Committee

This event is co-organised by SCI-S, the ESTEC Faculty and the ESAC Faculty.

Alba Alcol, Kate Isaak, Pierre Ferruit, Felix Fürst, Anik de Groof, Peter Kretschmar, Michael Küppers, Matt Taylor, Dimitriy Titov, Elliot Sefton-Nash, Arvind Parmar, Mylene Riemens, and Jan Tauber.
