Meet other Postdocs and Students
What is This?
What is This?
One of the best aspects of a conference is the chance to meet your peers. Pre-COVID this was simple enough, but it has become a tad difficult in this time of virtual conferences. To address this, we’re organizing Meet other Postdocs & Students (MoPS) sessions which allow you to get to know others in the area. Just think of it like a conversation during the banquet dinner, only held online.
This is organized in association with the 34th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2020).
