The event aims to bring together researchers from both faculties for discussions and inspiration around the important theme of research infrastructure.
Program
Apart from focused sessions interested infrastructures can present themselves via poster sessions through the day, and during a mingle at the conclusion. The program for the day has been based on the input provided earlier by the researchers.
One session during the afternoon will be a panel discussion, with Pro-Vice-Chancellor Katrine Riklund and Alice Kempe from Kempestifelserna among the participants.
The event is held in Rotundan, Aula Nordica, and the sessions throughout the day will be in English. Breakfast, coffee, lunch, and fika and a light dinner at the end of the day will be provided.
