We are delighted to host an informal introduction to KICC event to welcome our new members. There will be presentations in the morning showcasing the range of science at KICC, as well as presentations on how you can get involved in other activities, such as public engagement, and practical tips on local logistics, etc. In the early afternoon, after lunch, we are planning a Q&A panel session for early-career researchers.
