In direct relation to our fellow students:
- Continued exchanges by organizing Get-Togethers at the end of every semeseter (offline and online); the last one in January.
- Started our PhD and Movie Night series, where PhD students show a movie that inspires their thesis. We hope to create a opportunity to connect and engage with each others work in an informal space. We had our first event end of January hosted by Nour Shantout.
- Continued our weekly virtual working space with the help of the host Ludovica D’Alessandro.
