Programme 

The SCK CEN Day of the PhDs aims at bringing together all our PhD students, their promoters and colleagues at the universities, their mentors and other scientific collaborators at SCK CEN, the SCK CEN management and the members of our Scientific Council, and all other scientists and engineers interested in nuclear research.  
 
During this day our second- and third-year PhD students will discuss their research challenges. A plenary session presenting all research themes will be followed by a poster session. A plenary Q&A session will give all participants the opportunity to discuss the presented work. 

In the current conditions where an increase of virus circulation and infections is observed, we will ask all participants joining us in the Lakehouse to wear a face mask. Catering services will be limited to a coffee break. We thank you beforehand for your understanding.
