HDS-LEE Retreat 2023

The doctoral researchers had three days of intensive exchange on their projects and on Data Science applications and methods. In the morning there were lectures and in the afternoon team building activities and a hike organized by the doctoral researchers.

This year retreat took again place again in Monschau. The doctoral reseachers had an extensive program and a lot of possbilities for networking and exchange.
