This event is an ideal opportunity to present UNIQUE-funded work and promote the Neuro-AI student community. The event will feature brief student presentations, followed by networking and a meal (pizza and snacks). With this gathering, we hope to give 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.
