After the great success of our first Young Swiss Tomography Meeting, we are back for a second edition!
The Young Swiss Tomography Meetings aim at fostering knowledge exchange and networking among junior researchers in the tomography field.
Building on your feedback from last year, we will once again highlight the work of junior scientists and place special emphasis on networking, exchange, and troubleshooting.
This year, the event will span one and a half days and will include a workshop, a poster session, and a conference dinner.
The event is co-organized with the Dubochet Center for Imaging (DCI)
A big thank you to all the participants and speakers for making the event a great moment!
A special thanks to the Basel representatives for providing such an amazing workshop, and once again, thank you to all participants for actively engaging in the discussions.
We will provide the slides of the workshop shortly online and through the swisstomo mailing list
