Our theme for 2017 was 'Communicating Science - Connecting Worlds'. P&P 2017 took place on September 11-12, 2017. Besides our scientific program where speakers from both academia and industry shared their research with us, we invited professionals from the field of science communication. As PhD students we feel that it is crucial to communicate science, not only to our colleagues and fellow scientists, but also to non-experts such as stakeholders in politics, economy and the general public.
To find more about P&P 2017, please have a look at our Program and Abstract book.
