MARVEL Junior Seminars

The MARVEL Junior Seminars aim to intensify 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). Each seminar consists of two 25-minute presentations, followed by time for discussion.

When the events can be held on campus, pizza is served at 11:45 outside the auditorium, and after the seminar at 13:30, attendees are cordially invited for coffee and dessert to continue discussion with the speakers.

The MARVEL Junior Seminar Organizing Committee — Michele Kotiuga, Sara Fiore, Stefano Falletta, Kristians Cernevics, Max Veit and Patrick Mayor.
