The first Frontiers of Science Open Symposium is organized to introduce the program to young researchers with their further involvement in the coming years in mind.
This symposium offers the same session format as the real FoS symposium. Following the presentations by three speakers, participants engage in discussions on each of the two session topics.
The FoS Symposia have been highly valued by the past participants. 99% of the participants in 2019 appreciated that “the symposium was useful in order to widen their scientific perspectives” and 94% of them gave a favorable feedback to the questionnaire which asks whether “they would attend another symposium of this format again.” Please join this and enjoy the spirit of the FoS symposium.
