    Overview


    The 16th Science Workshop (SSW) took place on 23 - 25 January 2024, in Spain.

    The main purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the science research that scientists in SCI-S and SCI-E  are doing. It is an opportunity to “stretch” our abilities by trying to understand topics which we do not normally follow. It allows us to broaden our skill set and foster inter-site as well as inter-project cooperation in research activities. As per the experience gained in the previous few such meetings, this year’s is also being arranged off-site and on a residential basis as this additionally gives us the opportunity to get to know our colleagues better.
