The Hanseatic League of Science (HALOS) and the Helmholtz-Lund International Graduate School (HELIOS) is holding their virtual Knowledge Exchange Workshop on 20 April 2022, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. The event will connect life scientists and physicists from the Baltic Sea region to exchange expertise and find common interests. The workshop is the first initiative to develop potential collaborations for EU Co-Fund projects and future HALOS activities.
In the morning, you will learn more about HALOS and HELIOS as well as upcoming funding opportunities. This will be followed by keynote talks from HALOS and HELIOS Scientists. The afternoon will be dedicated to breakout sessions on data science, imaging and dynamics. The aim is to identify possible key topics/questions that form the basis of work packages for the EU Co-fund or HALOS next step proposal.
