UNIQUE Trainee Get-Together – Spring 2024

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.

Cet événement est l’occasion idéale de présenter les travaux financés par UNIQUE et de promouvoir la communauté des étudiant.e.s de Neuro-AI. L’événement comprendra de brèves présentations d’étudiant.e.s, suivies d’un réseautage accompagné de nourriture (pizza et snacks). Avec cette rencontre, nous voulons 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.
