Outreach Activities
Outreach Event at the University of Cadi Ayyad, Marrakech
Notedev Fellows participated in an outreach event for local undergraduates during the IMMEA conference in Marrakech, September 2015. The Fellows talked about their scientific education and careers, with the aim of introducing the students to some of the opportunities that could be open to them after they have finished their first degrees. A round-table discussion followed the talks, and the multi-lingual skills of some of the ESRs was vital to the success of the session.  |
