Winter Conference at Konsert & Kongress in Linköping

The winter conference is an internal WASP conference held in January every year. It includes a kick-off for new PhD students and new supervisors, in which an introduction is given to the WASP graduate school and related activities. In the conference part, WASP research results are presented by the PhD students. Also, shorter and longer talks are given on WASP-related topics. After the actual conference, the WASP clusters meet to plan for the coming year.

This three-day event provides an excellent opportunity to get an overview of WASP’s graduate school and research results. It is mandatory for the PhD students and it is the only recurring occasion where the whole WASP community gathers.


Presentations from speakers who admit publication will continually be uploaded below.
