To keep the community actively engaged and connected between two IsoDays editions, we are happy to introduce the webinar series "Soft Discussions: Roads to the Isodays" covering various topics in soft matter. Each webinar, of the duration of approximately 1 hour, will have the following format:
Part1 - Ask me Anything!
Our Ask Me Anything (AMA) session is a unique opportunity to interact with an internationally renowned scientist in the field of soft matter. During the session, the expert will answer a selection of questions from the audience, providing insights into his/her career, research work, and topics related to his/her experience as a soft matter scientist.
How it works:
Submit Your Questions: You have the chance to contribute to the conversation by submitting your questions in advance.
Your Choice: When submitting your questions, you can choose whether to make your identity clear or remain anonymous.
Selection: Our team will review and select questions to ensure a diverse range of topics and interests are covered during the session. A moderator will facilitate the interaction by asking these selected questions to the expert.
