You are invited to the annual Network Institute Event, on Thursday the 4th of July, 15h – 17h, De Tuinzaal (ground floor of the Faculty of Sciences)inFOLIO Research Group

The event is one part content mixed with an equal part social: three thought provoking talks on how to store, archive and share research data; project pitches by all the students from our Academy Assistants programme; a poster market where you can display your work; and we finish with drinks (in the garden!).

If you plan to attend, please mail Elly.Lammers@vu.nl, and inform her if you want to display a poster on the poster market. We’ll print your poster for you if needed, just inform Elly before 1 July.
