Call for participation

We invite you to participate in the Lorentz Center workshop

ICT With Industry

20-24 January 2025

Do you want to broaden your horizon and get to know the industry? Then this is the workshop for you! You will become acquainted with the industry during this workshop by working on a company case. Together with the company, you go over the problem and start working towards a solution with your team. Collaborating with other researchers from different disciplines expands your network and provides you with the experience of working within a team with a common mission.

Participation is free of charge, including the lunches and dinners mentioned in the program. Sign up before 22 November 2024 via the website of the Lorentz Center.
