MARVEL December Junior Seminars

The MARVEL Junior Seminars aim at intensifying interactions between the MARVEL Junior scientists belonging to different research groups (i.e. PhD & Postdocs either directly funded by the NCCR, or as a matching contribution). The EPFL community interested in MARVEL research topics is very welcome to attend. 
 
Each seminar consists of two 25-minute presentations, followed by time for discussion.
 
Pizza will be served at 11:45 in front of the auditorium (note that this is in ELA 2, i.e. NOT the same room as usual!) and you are also cordially invited after the seminar at 13:30 for coffee and dessert to continue the discussion with the speakers.
