Young Researcher Symposium
By and for students
Starting with the 2018 edition, the Girona Seminars will have a Young Researchers Symposium on the day before the main conference begins.
This event is organized by and for PhD students, and gives them the opportunity to show their research to their peers and to the participants of the main event.
