SAFER Thurdays Lunch Seminars Autumn 2024

Jun, 03 2024

We are thrilled to announce the return of our highly anticipated Thursday seminars this autumn! 

Almost every Thursday, we invite members of our community to join us for a networking lunch, followed by a seminar focused on sharing new knowledge, discussing important issues, and learning from each other. Our hope is that these seminars will not only ignite new insights, but also inspire new collaborations and projects.

The seminars will be held in a hybrid format, allowing you to participate online via Teams. From 11:30 to 12:00, we will provide lunch – for which you need to register in advance – and the seminars will take place from 12:00 to 12:45. We warmly welcome you to join us this autumn!
