Scientific communication committee
Four times a year, the IQCC organizes a Forum IQCC, where the latest research will be presented by PhD students (close to presenting their thesis, or at the start of their study), postdocs, introducing themselves to the institute, and staff members (for attracting Master and PhD students). These Forums are planned around Researcher’s Night (Sept), Christmas, Easter, and Summer break.
