Professional Development Session
The event will introduce non-technical topics frequently encountered by researchers and practitioners alike throughout their career. The invited speakers will be discussing their approach to the topic, drawing on their years of experience in the field. The discussions will be valuable to those relatively inexperienced in the topic as well as those looking to refine and expand on their existing knowledge.
