Starting October 28th, FONDA will organize a series of scientific talks from researchers in remote sensing, computational material science, human-computer interaction, along with several other topics relevant to the scientific use of workflows. The location of the talks will alternate between the main campus of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in Berlin Mitte, the Natural Sciences Campus in Adlershof, and fully online.
If you are interested, feel free to join us!
Remote participation for all sessions is available via Zoom at the following link: FONDA Winter Lectures
