Management at TOPOCOM - Topological Solitons in Ferroics for Unconventional Computing
Management at TOPOCOM
On September 14-15, 2023, we had the TOPOCOM kick-off Meeting in Groningen, Netherlands.
It was really great for all beneficiaries to meet in person and to get into action. We are all looking forward to welcoming the Doctoral Candidates and begin with the training, networking, and joint research activities. As part of the kick-off meeting, the governing structure of TOPOCOM was established and elections were conducted to fill important roles, including the Equal Opportunities Committee (EOC).
