START Fellowship Talks

START Fellowship candidates are invited to Munich to present their research proposals and for interviews. This also gives them the opportunity to discover the research environment in Munich and to get to know the MCQST community.

As first part of the program, the candidates will present themselves, their previous work as well as their research proposal for their START projects.

All talks are open to the entire MCQST community.

In the afternoon, the program continues with interviews in closed sessions.
