- EU Chair: Lena Heijkenskjöld (lheijken@uni-mainz.de)
Welcome
The Frontiers and Careers conference aims to provide Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers in the field of photonuclear physics a place to discuss research and career perspectives in a friendly environment.
Participants was 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.
This conference was timed to lead into the 2019 Electromagnetic Interactions with Nucleons and Nuclei conference, hence the venue and hotel was the same as for EINN2019. The sessions for Frontiers and Careers took place in the Athenaeum Ballroom at the Annabelle hotel.
What you need to know:
- Conference dates: October 27th – October 28th, 2019.
- This year’s conference was in Paphos, Cyprus.
- Registration to this conference was done via the registration to the EINN 2019 conference, here
- Abstract submission deadline September 22, 2019.
- This conference is free to attend! (no fee).
- Young scientists contributing to Frontiers and Careers recieved a 100€ discount on the EINN conference fee as well as reimbursements covering two nights at the conference hotel.
