SCI Science Workshop 12

Hotel Occidental Barcelo Aranjuez

12-14 Nov 2019

 

 

 

Overview

The main purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the science research that scientists in 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. 

The 12th SCI Science Workshop will take place from the afternoon of Nov 12 until the afternoon of Nov 14 2019 at the Hotel Occidental Aranjuez in the historic town of Aranjuez, which lies only 48 km from Madrid, Spain.

 

Organising Committee

Michael Küppers, Alba Alcol, Rune Floberghagen, Erik Kuulkers, Gabriele Matzeu, Tanya Lim, Jan Tauber, Mylene Riemens, Joe Zender

This event is co-organised by SCI-O, ESAC and ESTEC Science Faculty.

Started Monday 12 November at 15:00, Ended Wednesday 14 November at 13:00
