During the 2021 Symposium, we strived to expand our knowledge beyond the regular curricula, offering engaging fields of research rarely encountered - outside the box. These included AI in research, Astrobiology, and Synthetic Biology, among others. We achieved this by inviting international experts for keynote lectures. Our symposiums also featured workshops led by specialists, fostering interactive and extensive discussions within smaller groups. Topics ranged from Science Communication, Open and Replicable Science, to Networking Platforms, and mental health issues during research projects.

​

Moreover, we promoted social and scientific outreach among students. Although the availability of social gatherings depended on the COVID-19 situation and public health measures, we aimed to create opportunities for meaningful connections and exchanges.

​

We express our sincere appreciation to the distinguished keynote speakers, engaging workshops, and the invaluable support of our sponsors. We also extend our thanks to the participants who contributed to the success of the Symposium. For more information, we invite you to explore our Symposium schedule for a comprehensive overview of the event.
