Currently, our new working year of the third trESS project is well up and running. The analytical branch of the project will again produce several reports at the end of the year. We will of course keep you informed on the outcome. We are also eager to remind you of our round of trESS seminars. As of July 2013, five more seminars will be organised in the framework of the project. You can find them in the seminar calendar included in this newsletter. |
