Events

ELECDEM workshops and conferences

The ELECDEM training programme includes a series of four workshops and two conferences which are scheduled during the first 3 years of the project. Attendance at these six core project events is obligatory for the ELECDEM researchers. External researchers may also apply to participate in these core events, a limited number of spaces will be available and researchers should contact the Network Administrator for further details on the application process.

In addition to these core events, our partners may organise their own in-house workshops, courses, lectures and seminars. Some of these events are also shown here but this is not a complete listing.

Externally organised events

There are many other useful events that do not form part of our project training programme.  See our list of external events for further details.
