Workshop on Open Science and Data Management

Dec 20, 2023

As part of CISSE’s training and career development activities, Université Libre de Bruxelles organised an in-person workshop on Open Science and Data Management on 6 December. The doctoral candidates were introduced to best practices in these areas as well as Horizon Europe requirements.

First progress meeting

Sep 30, 2023

On 28 September, the CISSE consortium members met virtually to discuss progress accomplished within the technical work packages (‘From chirality to spin polarization’, ‘From spin polarization to chirality’) in the first six months of the project. It was also an opportunity for the ten newly recruited doctoral candidates to introduce themselves and to discuss upcoming training activities.
