Early Career Symposium

This year’s Early Career Symposium offers a dynamic “Walk & Talk” format.

Participants will join one of six small discussion groups, each led by an experienced researcher, to explore a topic central to early-career development - while enjoying a stroll along Lucca’s historic city walls.

Each group will depart from IMT, take a short walk, and pause at a scenic viewpoint for an in-depth conversation. Topics include:

• Publishing – Prof. Valerio Capraro

• Software for Experiment Programming – Prof. Shane Timmons

• Quantitative Data Analysis – Prof. Dirk Wulff

• Open Science Practices – Prof. Nora Hangel

• Networking – Prof. Wändi Bruine de Bruin

• Grants and Funding – Prof. Tomáš Jagelka

Group sizes are limited and advance registration is required. The evening concludes with informal drinks on the IMT cloisters at 19:30, offering an opportunity to continue discussions and build connections.
