UNIQUE Fellows Get-Together 2023

This event provided an opportunity to present UNIQUE-funded work and promote the Neuro-AI student community. The event featured brief student presentations, followed by networking and a meal (pizza and snacks). With this gathering, we attempted to provide UNIQUE students the opportunity to get to know each other in a friendlier format, with the aim of creating a community of Neuro-AI students and networking among UNIQUE students.

Cet événement a été l’occasion de présenter les travaux financés par UNIQUE et de promouvoir la communauté des étudiant.e.s de Neuro-AI. L’événement comprenait de brèves présentations d’étudiant.e.s, suivies d’un réseautage accompagné de nourriture (pizza et snacks). Avec cette rencontre, nous avons tenté de donner aux étudiant.e.s d’UNIQUE l’opportunité de se connaître dans un format plus amical, dans le but de créer une communauté d’étudiant.e.s Neuro-AI et de créer un réseau parmi les étudiant.e.s UNIQUE.
