2017 YCN Student's Evening
The 2017 Student Evening was organised by YCN, with the support of the JECS Trust, on the A38 Ship on Tuesday 11th July 2017 during the 15th ECerS Conference and Exhibition in Budapest, Hungary.
Young ceramist researchers, that is, Master and PhD students including early stage PhD`s were invited to attend and had the opportunity to socialize, interact and discuss their work in a warm and festive atmosphere.
A great opportunity to start professional and/or friendly relationships, to initiate collaborative networks and plan lab visits.
Some presentations were made during the event:
- The newly established YCN committee presented itself, its activities and the Facebook Ceramic Social Club.
- Richard Todd, Senior Editor of the Journal of ECerS, made a very interesting talk on " How to get published in scientific journals".
