Let’s kick things off!
The QMAT community is coming together this Thursday and Friday at the Aalto2 Museum Centre in Jyväskylä for our official kick-off meeting. Tero Heikkilä will open the event with a big-picture vision for the Centre, followed by presentations of the Work Packages – and, most importantly, plenty of opportunities to spark new collaborations.
