- EU Chair: Erez Cohen (cohen.erez7@gmail.com)
Welcome!
The Frontiers and Careers conference aims to provide Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers in the field of Nuclear and Particle physics a place to discuss research and career perspectives in a friendly environment.
Participants are provided the opportunity to present their work, develop soft skills, network with peers, and interact with a panel of experienced faculty members and physicists, all with the express purpose of preparing themselves for their future careers.
Like in all odd years, this conference preceded the European Research Conference on Electronmagnetic Interactions with Nucleons and Nuclei, held in Paphos, Cyprus. We highly encourage any grad students and postdocs attending EINN to also consider attending Frontiers and Careers.
