In this interdisciplinary seminar, Prof. Pink will briefly present aspects of her work, but the focus will be on the questions and issues raised by the EC participants in this seminar. They will each give a 5 minute presentation of their work and will have the opportunity to discuss issues related to their doctoral or postdoctoral research with Prof. Pink in an informal setting.
EC researchers can also discuss possible career paths and publishing strategies. This may also be a starting point for bilateral discussions at a later date.
