The WASP Winter Conference is an annual WASP-internal event. It includes an introduction for the new PhD students and supervisors and a conference to which the whole WASP community is invited to share information about the program and the conducted research. In addition cluster meetings are often held during the Winter Conference.
Introduction for newcomers
The introduction targets all new PhD students. By “new” students we refer to:

At the introduction you will get information about the Graduate School and you will meet other new PhD student colleagues from all universities in an informal setting.
New supervisors are also welcome to join the kickoff, to learn more about the WASP Graduate School and to get an overview of the different activities.
